Don’t think you can knit a professional looking cowl?

Yes you can!

The Yes You Canyon Cowl is the perfect project for a beginning knitter looking to learn new cast on and grafting skills. This simple and straight-forward pattern will help you create a seamless cowl that people will not believe you made yourself. The free pattern comes with detailed video tutorials for a Provisional Cast On to get started and the Kitchener Stitch for seamless grafting at the end. The cowl is knit in the round so you never have to purl. It can be knit to the recommended size for a cowl look or extra long for an infinity scarf. The Yes You Canyon Cowl looks best in a self-striping yarn, but get creative, because yes, you can!
