Fez Cowl

Fez cowl

I finished knitting this little cowl in 2 days - an evening in and a train ride up to the north. It only took 2 balls of lovely Debbie Bliss Fez, a snuggly merino/baby camel(!) blend.

Fez cowl

Here's a rough pattern.. with the yarn held double (a strand from each ball), cast on enough stitches to fill a 16" 8mm circular needle, making sure your number is a multiple of 4 + 3. k2, p2 around (you'll reach the end of the round with a purl left over, just carry right on over the end of the round). Keep k2, p2 around until you have a few yards left, then bind off loosely.

Fez cowl

My cowl is about 32" around and hangs pretty loose, for a snugger one cast on fewer stitches or make a pompom-trimmed drawstring pull (I might add this to mine).

Very nice! Can you wear it over your head like a hood, or is this style for neck wear only?
