Ribbed Cowl

Another great cowl pattern from Lion Brand Yarns! This is a great basic cowl pattern, try using other yarns, but don't forget to gauge each yarn correctly.

GAUGE:

When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
