Chunky ribbed cowl free knitting pattern

Quick cosy knits for cool weather are satisfyingly quick, and my free cowl pattern is no exception! You can knit this in just a few hours with one 100gram skein of chunky yarn. it’s a great beginner pattern once you can knit and purl, and is a lovely introduction to knitting in the round on a long circular needle.
