Project Description
This cowl is worked flat to create a half circle, and then it's transitioned into the round using the magic loop method.

- K = knit
- P = purl
- Yo = yarn over

- Sm = stitch marker
- K2tog = knit 2 together
Instructions
Garter Tab
Co 2, knit 6 rows. Without turning, pick up 3 sts along the garter edge and 2 sts of the cast-on edge. You will have a total of 7 sts on your needle.
Rows
Row 1: K2, (P 1, yo) 3 times, K2. (10)
Row 2: K
Row 3: K2, (P1, yo, pm) 6 times, K2. (16)
