NEEDLES:

US 7 circulars 24"

GUAGE: 

16 stitches = 4"
I'm a loose knitter, so your gauge might have more stitches per inch.   Laying flat, the cowl measures 18" wide x 10" tall.

KEY:

• Drop stitch:  drop next stitch and unravel 4 rows, pickup Main color stitch in the 5th row with the left needle, insert right needle into this stitch, catch the 4 loose strands from the dropped stitches, and knit all together.
