I rarely knit for myself. I am much too hard to please.
My original intention was to do a structured stitch pattern. I love
this one from the
Purl Bee, but it just wasn't working for the look I wanted. The wrong side is more or less woven, making the finished knit fairly rigid. I started over with a simple seed stitch. Perfectly slouchy, perfectly two sided, and perfect for the buttery soft
Misti Alpaca Chunky yarn from
Yarnphoria on Pine Street in Philadelphia. Love the yarn, love this new store (partly because its so close by). Seriously large selection and great sale section in the back.
Quick Little Pattern:
Using size 10 circular needles, and a chunky yarn giving you 3 stitches per inch, cast on 91 (or any odd number) of stitches. K1,P1 until the cowl is the desired length. Each skein of yarn knits about 5 1/2" of height; I used 3 skeins. If you're feeling cheap (as I normally am), two skeins will make a perfectly passable 11" cowl. Three skeins puts it over the top for coziness, and makes it long enough to pull up over your head when you can't find your hat (as I normally can't).
