The number of cowls a person should own can be represented by the equation “N+1”,  “N” being the number of cowls you own at any given time… you always need one more!

The N + 1 Cowl showcases a delightfully simple slip stitch pattern that looks impressive but is a breeze to knit. It’s worked flat , then connected to form a long loop that can be worn long or doubled up around the neck for cozy warmth. Use a color shifting yarn for extra fun or 2 (or more) contrasting colors (perhaps in college or teams colors).
