A little recipe if you will for a narrow long eyelet cowl. It can be worn long or doubled up to keep out the chilly fall winds.
…………………………………………………………….
Ingredients:
Appox. 350 yd’s of fingering weight yarn. I used a bamboo nylon blend (lovely drape). You want to choose a yarn that has great drape and is soft around the neck. A merino/silk blend would be perfect too!
Gauge is 5.5sts per inch.
Sz. US 6 (4.0 mm) 27”-32” circular needle.
stitch marker, row counter (optional).

Cast on 248 sts. My preferred method to cast on is the long tail cast-on.

Weave in the ends. Soak and gently block, enjoy!
