Snuggle up!

You’ll be super-warm in no time at all with Jo Allport’s garter stitch cowl.

If you’re looking for a really quick and easy knit that’ll keep you toasty just when you need it, then this gorgeous cowl by Jo Allport is the accessory to knit and wear. Worked in Rico Super Super Chunky, which is a snuggly wool/ acrylic mix, it’s worked in half stocking stitch and half garter stitch on 10mm circular needles. Although this particular cowl isn’t knitted in the round, many knitters find it much easier to work a large amount of stitches (especially super super chunky ones) back and forth on a circular needle than on straight needles. Why don’t you give it a go and see which method you prefer?
