Inspired by the cover a new knitting journal - this little maze-like cowl was created. An easy knit using only knit/purl stitches and the Fair Isle technique. Quick to knit and great for both beginners and pro's. Enjoy! Stuff You Need: 150 yards worsted weight yarn in Color A 200 yards worsted weight yarn in Color B 16 inch, Size 9 circular knitting needle Darning needle to weave in the ends A row counter, if that's your thing NOTES: Other than the 1st row and the last row, the entire cowl is knit stitches. KITR is dreamy, isn't it?! Watch your tension, Fair Isle can be tricky. Better to leave a long tail to weave in later than deal with it bunching up later. KITR: knit in the round K: knit P: purl
