Gauge: This pattern is very flexible gauge wise. You can use any yarn, and any amount of stitches. Since this cowl is knit flat (like a scarf) and the ends are grafted, you can make it as wide and as long as you like. The picture on this pattern is worsted weight, size 7 needles, with a cast on of 36 stitches. How ever wide your cast on is, will be the measurement of your cowl from top to bottom. And how ever long you knit it, will be the circumference of your cowl.

This cowl is knit in garter stitch with extra stitches cast on then immediately bound off to create “noodles” along the edges. Very little effort for lots of effect! Cute pattern done in solids, hand painted, or patterned yarns. Can

be knit any size with any yarn. The pattern is written for worsted, but is easily adjusted for other weights.

CO 36 stitches using waste yarn. Knit 1 row.

Switch to your yarn. Knit 1 row. Start Noodles Pattern.

Noodles Pattern:
Row 1: Cast on 6 stitches at the beg of the row. Bind off those 6 stitches. Knit across remaining stitches
Row 2: Repeat row 1
Row 3 & 4: Knit

Work rows 1-4 until desired length, ending after row 2.

Graft ends together or do a 3-needle bind off. The 3-needle bind off hardly shows in garter stitch, so if you’re not a fan of grafting use that!

Note: You can cast on the 6 stitches using any method you like. I do a knitted cast on, but a simple backward loop works just as well. For longer "noodles" just cast on more stitches!
