Paper Towel Cowl

Hi guys!
I have a finished project to share with you!

​My Paper Towel Cowl!
Picture
This lovely pattern is by Nick Davis on Ravelry. It is a fingering weight cowl with a mixture of beautiful textures and two rows of functional buttons. The cowl is worked as a flat panel with a garter border picked up after finishing. 
Picture
For my cowl I used Black Trillium Fibers merino wool in the colorway Watermelon. I found the most magical mother of pearl and natural shell buttons from Lovely Little Trims on Etsy. I couldn't have asked for a better pairing!
Picture
My finished cowl turned out significantly smaller then the featured design. I ended up adding an entire extra panel to my cowl after this picture to get the appropriate length. 
Picture
I added an extra few rows to the garter border as well. It still turned out a little shorter widthwise than the original, If I knit this project again I will gauge up and maybe add a few stitches to my cast on for the body. 
Picture
Overall I am very happy with how this project turned out and I've been wearing it constantly. I recommend this pattern if you're looking for a simple, satisfying and meditative knit. ​
I definitely see more fingering weight cowls in my future. I have a healthy stash of sock weight yarn that needs knitting and I've lost my sock fervor.

Drop me a comment below if you have a one skein wonder fingering weight pattern that you love or have had your eye on!

Thanks for reading!
