First Finished Object: A Cowl


I show you the first finished object of 2011: The Ribbed Cowl. I hope I don't sound all "so last year" but cowls are still pretty neat. I really have to dress in layers with my job and cowls are perfect. You can dress them up or down, especially by choosing a fancier yarn.
It's from Knit Simple's Winter 2010/11 issue. I really can't believe that this pattern is so simple. It is increasing ribs from 2 knits, 2 purls all the way up to like 13 knits, 2 purls. Basically, you cast on a bunch of stitches and start an increasing rib pattern. It's not even knitted in the round, just back and forth for 34". I made it in a basic brown, so i could wear it to school with just about anything...

I know that Loops carries the magazine, not to enable anyone or anything....
