Death By Chocolate Cowl
(Adults Version)
YYC Knits Designs Who wouldn't LOVE being smothered in Chocolate? This Cowl is NOT for the faint of heart and absolutely lives up to its name by wrapping you up in the warmth and wonder of the splendid feeling of chocolate. Knit with the luxurious Malabrigo Rasta in the color way Belgian Chocolate and resembling coco nibs on the cocoa trees, this chocolate cowl will have you dreaming you have died and gone to chocolateheaven.
Notions: 16" 12 mm circular needle, scissors, darning needle, one skein of Malabrigo Rasta, Belgian Chocolate color way or any other color you may prefer! Gauge: 4.5 sts. /2" stockinette (Unblocked) Yarn: Malabriogo - Rasta /(077 Belgian Chocolate) 1 Skein +Leftover from Kids Cowl For Cast Off. If you want to make it with one skein of Rasta you may have to cast off on row 7 or 8 instead of 9 or go down a needle size... (just be mindful of this) I made two with two skeins... 1 Kids and 1 Adults! Using a 12mm, 16" circular needle or size required to get gauge, loosely cast on 48 sts. I used the knit cast on method but you can use whatever cast on method you prefer. If you don't have a 16" circular in a 10mm needle, you can use a longer one and certainly use the magic loop method for knitting this cowl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1mCw0-j8Jo
