Instructions

1. Cast On: CO 48 stitches on your size 10 knitting needles.
2. Set Up for the Ribbing: Work in the following pattern for the first row: K2, P2, repeat until you reach the last two stitches, K2. This is the Right Side (RS) of your work.
3. Continue Ribbing: For the next rows, continue to work in the K2, P2 pattern until the piece measures about 10 inches long from the cast-on edge. Make sure to keep track of your rows to maintain consistency.
4. Binding Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off in pattern (K2, P2). Cut the yarn leaving a long tail for sewing. Pull the tail through the last stitch to secure.
5. Finishing: Use your tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends into the back of the work carefully.
6. Joining the Ends: To form the cowl, align the cast-on edge with the bind-off edge and sew them together using a whip stitch. Ensure there are no twists in the fabric.
7. Block Your Cowl: Lightly steam block your cowl if needed to help it lay flat and smooth.
