Chandelier Cowl

I first decided to knit a cowl while home on break and very cold while walking my dog. I didn't have a specific design in mind when I first sat down to knit one. In fact, I tried several other designs before landing on this one. All I knew for sure was that I wanted to use yarn that I already had, so I could bust my stash a little bit. I chose Lion Brand Thick & Quick because I wanted to use super bulky yarn to knit it up quickly. I also knew I had enough in this color to make a full cowl. I tried several different patterns before landing on the one I chose. I knew I wanted to do some kind of fake honeycomb stitch. I tried the design with different numbers of stitches to get the circumference just right. I chose to name it the Chandelier Cowl because it kind of reminds me of a traditional looking chandelier with the curved candelabra look. PATTERN Materials 75yds Lion Brand Thick & Quick in Oatmeal or any other super bulky yarn. US 13/9 mm 24" circular needles (1) Stit
