I had been looking for some sort of short scarf or neck warmer to wear under my winter coat for some time when I stumbled across this pattern on Ravelry. It’s called Darkside Cowl and can be found here. Darkside Cowl You do have to sign up but it’s free and an easy process. Check it out, you won’t be sorry.
I decided to try this out and found some Naturally Caron Country yarn I had in the Peacock color. I wanted to use this because it’s soft, makes a nice fabric and is machine washable and I knew it would feel good on my skin.
Here is the beginning of the project:
It only took about a week or so to complete and that was after having to rip it back because I miscounted the stitches. You do have to be careful to make sure you have a multiple of 8 stitches or your pattern will be off. I added 16 stitches because I wanted it to be pretty loose.
I used a 16 inch circular size 8 needle and that worked just fine.
I am really pleased with how this came out. It’s really soft and warm and much better than fussing with a scarf when I’m taking the bus. I think I’ll be making a few of these they are so nice and were so easy and fun to make.
Finished product:
I think these would also make awesome gifts and if you used a more masculine color, would be great for a man too.

Yes, it would be great for a man in a more masculine color.
May the force be with you!
