Honey Cowl - a simple knit project

I found this cowl pattern designed by Ann Marie for madelinetosh. It's a simple slip stitch and can be made in different lengths using only 1 or 2 skeins of yarn. Want a splash of color for fall and winter...here it is and the pattern is free!

madelinetosh Tosh DK (100% superwash merino wool, 225yds (206 meters): "Grasshopper", 1(2 ) skeins.
NEEDLES

NOTIONS

NOTES
a simple slip stitch pattern cowl creates a dense waffle-like fabric for warmth and supple drape.
this flexible pattern can be worked in four different sizes using just one or two skeins of yarn.
both short and longer versions are lovely viewed on both sides.
