Pattern: Funky Fringed Cowl

Featuring the warm squish factor of garter stitch, no purling, and no ends to weave in, the Funky Fringed Cowl is the perfect stress-free comfort project! This versatile cowl can be worn either side out with an optional button closure to snug it up around your neck for extra warmth. Conceived of as a way to use up DK-weight scraps, the Funky Fringed Cowl is also great for those special skeins you’ve been wanting to put together.

This pattern includes several customization options:

• Easy customization instructions for sizing the cowl larger or smaller in both circumference and depth.
• Instructions for creating a doubled length cowl.
• Instructions for a “double the fringe, double the fun!” option.
• Instructions for substituting two strands of fingering weight yarn held together instead of DK weight yarn (great for stash busting your sock scraps!)
• Three optional button closure variations.
