This simple project, presented here as a master pattern, is the perfect starting point for knitting in the round. Choose the desired circumference of your cowl, make a gauge swatch to determine your cast-on number, and away you go! You can knit this cowl in plain stockinette stitch and allow it to curl at the edges, or add a simple border of garter stitch to control the natural roll of stockinette stitch. You can also knit it in a variety of stitch patterns; it lends itself well to lacy, open designs.
