This cowl is worked in the round, in garter stitch with stockinette stitch bands on each side. You start with a provisional cast on, you knit the outer section in DK-weight yarn, then you keep on knitting the inner lining with the same needles but with two strands of lace-weight yarn, the lining is then folded inside and the cowl is grafted with a kitchener stitch.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Finished measurements taken after blocking : 38 cm / 15’’ long, 25 cm / 10’’ wide
The cowl size will likely increase slightly with wear, more or less depending on the type of fiber used, it will widen a bit and shorten as well, garter stitch will slowly spring back in shape after blocking.
For reference, after one year of intense wear, my cowl is now 29 cm wide and 32 cm long.
