Meet Cute Cowl

Knit in the round, the Meet Cute Cowl brings together seed and brioche stitch in perfect harmony. Like two movie characters destined for each other, these stitches both work in multiples of two.

The fit of Meet Cute is quite snug (see Finished Measurements). For a more open cowl, simply cast-on more stitches. As long as you have an even number, the stitch pattern will work. Note that if you make your cowl larger, you will probably need more yarn. Using a heavier weight yarn would also make a larger cowl. Worsted or bulky weight would make a very cozy cowl indeed. Enjoy!
