Mogul Cowl & Infinity Scarf Recipe

Pattern Notes:
The Mogul Cowl & Infinity Scarf Recipe is written to serve as a guide for creating any size cowl using the angular basket weave stitch pattern. Though the featured samples and pattern recipe show two sizes: Small and Large, it is up to the knitter to determine the finished size and fabric drape for their cowl. Using a variety of yarns and needle sizes, this cowl's stitch pattern is a multiple of 8 stitches, making it simple for the knitter to customize based on desired gauge and finished dimensions. Recommended yarns include Malabrigo Rios, Malabrigo Twist, Malabrigo Merino Worsted, Madelinetosh Tosh DK, Madelinetosh Vintage, Madelinetosh Merino, Swans Island Organic Merino Worsted, Swans Island Organic Merino Bulky, Cascade Eco Duo, Misti Alpaca Chunky. Two samples are shown in this pattern: Small and Large. The small sample (white) uses approximately 200 yards of chunky weight yarn and size US 10, 16" needles. The large sample (zebra) uses approximately 400 yards of light worsted weight yarn and size US 7, 32"needles. The pattern recipe is written with instructions shown as Small (Large). If you choose to knit a size other than these, you will need to do a bit of math, but you can use this recipe as a general guideline.
Materials:
Use needles to achieve desired gauge. Choose circular needle length based upon circumference of finished cowl. I recommend yarns ranging from DK to chunky weight. You will need between 200 - 400 yards depending on gauge and finished measurements. Sizes used vary from Us 7 - US 10.5 1 Stitch Marker TapestryNeedle Small Sample (White) Size US 10, 16" circular needles; 200 yards chunky weight yarn (Shown in Swans Island Organic Merino Bulky weight in Natural). Large Sample (Zebra) Size US 7, 32" or 40" circular needles; 400 yards light worsted weight yarn (Shown in Cascade Eco Duo in Zebra).
