Keep Me Warm Cowl

Here's a really quick pattern I made up while I was at Joann's today, teaching a 9 year old to knit.

Keep Me Warm Cowl.


Materials:
2 skeins Lion Brand Hometown USA in Cambridge Tweed or any color that suits you.
1 pr straight knitting needles size 11

You can substitute any yarn that has a "6" on the label--this is classified as Super Bulky.

Cast on 23 stitches with the Knitted On Cast On.
Knit every row for 4"
(about 20 rows)

*Purl next row
Knit next row
Purl next row
Knit next row
Purl next row
Knit 3 rows

Repeat from * 6 times, then Knit every row for 4" again. Put right sides together, and bind off as follows:

*Put right hand needle into the first stitch AND ALSO into the first cast on stitch, yarn over and bring through both stitches, and remove the stitch from the left hand needle. Repeat from * once. Now bind off one stitch from your right hand needle. Repeat from * once, and bind off one stitch from your right hand needle. Continue in this manner until all the stitches are bound off.

Weave in your ends.
