Sometimes we all need a project where the yarn does the work. The Social Cowl is my personal answer.

This cowl just screams to be the knitting you keep tucked in the car for traffic, for doctors office knitting or basketball game knitting. It is pretty mindless and overall a great way to keep your hands busy and your mouth still able to talk. With just ones skein of yarn and basic skills you can successfully complete this cowl in the most social of situations!

Yarn: Urth Uneek fingering weight yarn, 435 yards 100% extra fine merino wool

Notions and supplies:

US 5 16” needle

Stitch marker

yarn needle

Cast on 90 stitches using a long tail cast on. Join for knitting in the round, placing marker to help keep track. Knit!!
Knit until you have one color stripe left in your skein of Urth. Knit one more round and then prepare to graph your ends together.

I used a combination Kitchener and sewn graph.

1. Bring the yarn tail through the first stitch Knitwise.

2. Then draw the yarn under both legs of the stitch in the column of cast on stitches opposite my live stitch.

3. Bring the working yarn through the same live stitch as step one, this time pulling the working yarn through purl-wise.

One stitch is bound off and joined with the cast on edge. Give a little tug to your tail yarn to snug up your stitches to match the tension of your knit fabric.

Repeat these three steps until all live stitches are secured. This will look just like they were magical knit in one continuous tube!! Perfectly simple and very unique❤️
