Its cold, and the day light hours are shorter and shorter. What is one to do when one has an hour free unexpectedly? That's right, drift into a yarn store and fondle the alpaca. Spot a lovely cowl on one of the sales associates and run to the bank to get the $ just as they try to lock the doors for the night. (nice try, but can't keep me away from my alpacas!) Got the vague idea of how its done, remember Aryn said 96 stitches, but not much else... and lets cast on. I CO 96 st and joined to knit in the round. *5 rows stockinette and five rows of reverse stockinette* 5 times in color A, and 5 times in color B.
Change to color C and *5 rows stockinette and five rows of reverse stockinette* 4 times. now do one more repeat of just 5 rows stockinette.
BO with size US9 to prevent pulling.
Pull on and indulge in the cloud…..
This is a lovely mindless pattern, you could (just saying...) even knit this at a party and have a holiday drink with it, that's how easy it is!

Cool! It is like a cowl version of the Wurm hat!
The cowl looks great, and in alpaca it must be really lovely and soft :-)
Hila I love it! It looks so warm and comfy.
Deluxe softness in pretty natural colors to wrap around the neck - wonderful!
OH! That's so pretty!
(((hugs)))
Hm. I bet you could reverse direction and knit stockinette both ways, closing the little hole with a k2tog-with-the-stitch-in-row-below.
These natural colours look so wonderful and I guess the merino and alpaka must be very soft (not knowing the alpaka).
Oh my...
What inspiration...
Rushes off to haul all kinds of soft alpaca from the stash....
