Boysenberry cowl

This is a quick and easy one-skein project that I made for a co-worker.  It's warm enough to double over and wear during the winter, but can be worn open during warmer weather as well.  It is knit-in-the-round so no need for sewing the edges together.

Materials you will need:
  • Approximately 85 grams of worsted weight yarn.  I used Malabrigo in the color Purple Magic
  • US #9 circular needles 22-30" 
  • Stitch marker
  • Tapestry needle

          Skills you will need:
  • Casting on
  • Knit
  • Purl
  • K2tog
  • SSK
  • YO
  • Binding off
  • Weaving in ends
Begin by casting on 132 stitches using your preferred method.  The cast on should be a little bit stretchy.  After that there are 39 rows of basic knitting to create a very simple, reversible lace pattern.

  • Row 1 = Knit across
  • Row 2 = Purl across
  • Row 3 = Knit across
  • Row 4 = Purl across
  • Row 5 = Knit across
  • Row 6 = *YO, K2tog* repeat to marker
  • Row 7 = Knit across
  • Row 8 = Purl across
  • Row 9 = Knit across
  • Row 10 = *YO, YO, SSK, K2tog*
  • Row 11 = *K, P, K2*
  • Row 12 = Purl
  • Row 13 = Knit
  • Row 14 = *SSK, K2tog, YO, YO*
  • Row 15 = *K3, P*
  • Row 16 = Purl across
  • Row 17 = Knit across
  • Row 18 = Purl across
  • Row 19 = Knit across
  • Row 20 = *YO, K2tog*
  • Row 21 = Knit across
  • Row 22 = Purl across
  • Row 23 = Knit across
  • Row 24 = *SSK, K2tog, YO, YO*
  • Row 25 = *K3, P*
  • Row 26 = Purl across
  • Row 27 = Knit across
  • Row 28 = *YO, YO, SSK, K2tog*
  • Row 29 = *K, P, K2*
  • Row 30 = Purl across
  • Row 31 = Knit across
  • Row 32 = Purl across
  • Row 33 = Knit across
  • Row 34 = *YO, K2tog*
  • Row 35 = Knit across
  • Row 36 = Purl across
  • Row 37 = Knit across
  • Row 38 = Purl across
  • Row 39 = Knit across
Bind off using a slightly stretchy bind off.  Cut your yarn leaving an 8-12 inch tail.  Weave in your ends with a tapestry needle.  I hope you enjoy your project!  Told ya it was simple :)
