Note
This cowl is knit width-wise, meaning the length around the neck. To make it slouchier, work the piece until it’s a longer length.
Easy Garter Cowl
Cast on 24 stitches using the Long Tail Cast-On Method, or method of your choice.
Row 1: Knit each stitch across.
Repeat row 1 until the cowl measures 22 to 24 inches. I worked until I had just enough of the skein of yarn left to bind off and sew the seam.
NOTE: If you’d like the cowl to be wider, therefore hanging a little more loosely around the neck, then continue to knit until you reach the desired width.
Bind off stitches. Weave in ends.
Using matching yarn and a tapestry needle, and your preferred method for seaming, sew the two short ends together to close.
Slip it on to be stylish and cozy!!
