mogul cowl & infinity scarf

The Mogul Cowl & Infinity Scarf Recipe is written to serve as a guide for creating any size cowl using the angular basket weave stitch pattern. Though the featured samples and pattern recipe show two sizes: Small and Large, it is up to the knitter to determine the finished size and fabric drape for their cowl.

Materials:
Use needles to achieve desired gauge. Choose circular needle length based upon circumference of finished cowl.
I recommend yarns ranging from DK to chunky weight. You will need between 200 – 400 yards depending on gauge and finished measurements.
Sizes used vary from US 7 – US 10.5
1 Stitch Marker
Tapestry Needle

Small Sample (White) Size US 10, 16” circular needles; 200 yards chunky weight yarn (Shown in Swans Island Organic Merino Bulky weight in Natural).

Large Sample (Zebra) Size US 7, 32” or 40” circular needles; 400 yards light worsted weight yarn (Shown in Cascade Eco Duo in Zebra).
