Knit Cowl

A few posts back I talked about a chunky bobble bow hat I had made. This cowl is made from the same yarn. It is incredibly soft and warm... and probably one of the very few times you will ever see me knit. I have taken a knitting lesson, and it just did not hold much of a fascination with me other than the beautiful objects that can be made. I did however, have an individual show me their loom knit work many a year ago and I can not credit them here, because I did not know their name then. I somehow retained the knowledge about how to use a round loom enough to make a hat. I used that theory to create this cowl on a 41 peg round loom.  The picture below is what my work looked like after the first round of  stitches on the loom.



As I progressed around adding more rows it started to look like the picture below.


I continued adding rows until my skein of yarn was almost gone. Then I cast off using a single crochet around the edge to finish off.  The end result is pictured below.
