Hello everyone. Today, I'm going to show you how to knit this beautiful cowl. It's super easy to make. I have free written pattern. It's available on our blog at knitcrowaddict.com I'm gonna put the link in description below and please check in description below for all the details that you need to know how to make this cowl. I hope you enjoy and let's get started. For this project, I use two colors of Wool of Andrey tweed. This is number 4 medium weight yarn. 80% wool, 20% Donegal tweed. If you are allergic to wool, I don't recommend using this yarn. You can substitute yarn by looking for number 4 medium weight yarn. Okay, so this is gonna be my color A. This is olive heather. For color A, you need two balls of this yarn. I also have some left. And for color B, everything the same except the color. This is in color farmhouse heather. And you only need one ball for color B, and I have some left as well. You will need US 10 6 millimeter knitting needle. This is a 22 inches circular needle. We're gonna knit in a round. And you need marker, yarn needle, scissors. We're gonna start with color A. And I'm gonna use long tail cast-on and make sure I have long enough tail for my cast-on. Then you can start with make slipknot. And then insert the needle into the loop and that will be your first stitch. Okay, or you don't have to make a slipknot, which I'm going to do. Grab my yarn like this. Insert my needle right here. Come out here, come out here, come out here. Okay, I have two stitches there. I'm gonna cast-on 130 stitches. This pattern is a multiple of two stitches. Any and even number will work. Make sure don't cast-on too tight. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Okay, now I have 130 stitches cast-on on my needle here. Next, we're gonna join in the round. But before that, make sure your stitches are lining up like this. Okay, you don't want it to twist like this. Okay, I like to join my work with an invisible joint. I will show you how. And if you don't want to do that, totally up to you. So I'm gonna cast-on one more extra stitch. So now I have 130 and I'm gonna cast-on one more. So I have 131 stitches. The working yarn on the right needle. First, I'm gonna slip the first stitch on the left needle purlwise like this. Slip. Then I'm gonna pick up the second stitch on the right needle. Up and over the outside stitch there. See, I just dropped off one stitch there. So now my stitches count is back to 130 stitches. Now I need to pull the tail a little bit here. Then I'm gonna transfer that stitch on my right needle back to the left needle. It's really nice and tight at the beginning. That's what I like about this invisible joint method. Okay, round one. I'm gonna bring the beginning marker here into the right needle. Then round one, we're gonna knit every stitch around. Knit the first stitch. Knit the next stitch. And knit the next stitch. All right, keep knitting every stitches around. Round one is a little tight. Just take your time, okay? This is what it looks like at the end of round one. Round two, we transfer the beginning marker to the right needle. Then we're gonna purl every stitches around with color A. So yarn in front and purl. Okay, this is the end of round two. For round three, we're gonna replace the marker to the right needle. Then for round three, we're gonna use color B. So I drop color A. Don't cut it. Just drop it and bring the color B up. Then I'm gonna knit the first stitch. I insert my needle into the first stitch and then grab that color B. Then slip the next stitch purlwise with the yarn in the back. Knit the next stitch. Slip the next stitch purlwise with the working yarn on the back. Like that. Okay, we're gonna repeat this around.
