I Love Yarn Day Week 2015: Day #2 + Giveaway!

October 13, 2015 by Stitch&Unwind

It’s the second day of I Love Yarn Day Week! This year’s official theme is #StitchItForward, which encourages you to share your skill and teach a newbie how to knit or crochet. Check out the rest of the posts from this week for new patterns and daily prizes from our friends at Red Heart Yarns, Lion Brand, Premier Yarns, Simplicity, Yarnspirations, and Love Knitting. ILYD2015

We’re dedicating today to knitting – we can’t let crocheters have ALL the fun, now can we? (Double the fun if you do both, though!) Our friends at Lion Brand are bringing you this gorgeous knit cowl pattern that uses only two different colors of yarn but looks like you used a lot more! This easy knitting pattern is great for beginners or for those more skilled with a set of needles. Check it out, and don’t forget to take a peek at the giveaway at the end of this post to win some Unique yarn of your very own!

Two Color Cozy Cowl

Skill Level: Easy
Finished Circumference About 30 in. (76 cm)
Finished Height About 13 in. (33 cm)

Cozy CowlMATERIALS
Unique Yarn: Grapevine (2 balls)
Unique Yarn: Oceania (2 balls)
Lion Brand Split Ring Stitch Markers
Lion Brand Large-Eye Blunt Needles (Set of 6)
Circular knitting needle size 13 (9 mm), 24 in. (61 cm) long

ABBREVIATIONS
k = knit
k2tog = knit 2 together
rep = repeat(s)(ing)
rnd(s) = round(s)
st(s) = stitch(es)
tog = together

GAUGE
10 sts + 8 rnds = 4 in. (10 cm) over Rnds 1-8 of Pattern st.
When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES
1. Cowl is worked in one piece in the rnd with 2 strands of yarn held together, changing color to make stripes.
2. Do not cut yarn between color changes, carry color not in use up the wrong side of the Cowl.

COWL
With 2 strands of A held tog, cast on 74 sts. Place marker for beginning of rnd and join by working the first st on the left hand needle with the working yarn from the right hand needle, being careful not to twist sts. Slip marker as you come to it on each rnd.
Knit 6 rnds.
