With colorful Malabrigo Rasta gifted to me for the holidays, I designed and knit the Rasta Gift Cowl.
The cowl takes just a few hours to knit, and makes a perfect gift or warm accessory to any outfit.

Cowl
pattern:
RS Rows 1, 3: * (K1, p 1), to last st, k1
WS
Rows 2, 4: With yarn in front, S1, * (K1, p1), to last st, with yarn
in front, S1.
(WS
Rows 2, 4: you will not purl the first and last stitch. These
stitches will be slipped with the yarn held, or brought to the front.
This gives
the rows a cleaner edge.)
Rows 5, 6: Knit
As yarn allows, repeat the pattern rows total 14 times.
Pick up cast on stitches to 3needle bind off; or
Pick up cast on stitches to work Kitchener Stitch.
