Recently, I designed and knit this cowl to raise money for a family in our church that is coping with cancer. It was ideal for a fundraiser because the chunky yarn and easy to memorize pattern made it a quick knit. If you have to finish a gift before Christmas, this may be just what you are looking for.
Here is the pattern:
Supplies Needed:
Size 13 circular needle 29"
1 Skein of Loops and Threads Charisma in Off White (or a similar No. 5 bulky weight)
Stitch Marker
Yarn Needle
Instructions:
Cast on 60 stitches in stretchy cast on of choice. I used the Twisted German cast on. You can find video instructions here: http://newstitchaday.com/twisted-german-cast-on/
Place a marker
for the beginning of the round and join.
Row 1: K
Rows 2-3: K2, P2
Rows 4-5: K
Rows 6-7: P2, K2
Rows 8-9: K
Repeat rows 2-9 three more times for a total of 33 rows.
Bind off using the stretchy bind off of your choice. I recommend Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abBhe-JYmgI
Weave in ends.
You can give this a gentle hand blocking by putting your hands inside the scarf and pulling your hands apart to stretch the scarf a bit.
The pattern is also available for download on Ravelry.
