It's cold - here's a nice warm free pattern

By my thermometer it's 27 degrees - cold enough to snow even. Perfect knitting weather.  Here's a cozy treat for you courtesy of the lovely Antonella.  This little cowl knits up fast with just one skein of Noro Kureyon and is perfect to tuck inside your coat to keep out the howling winds, or just to add a pop of color to your outfit.  

With a US size 10 (6.0 mm) cast on 72 stitches.  Join for working in the round, being careful not to twist. 

Rounds 1--5 :*knit 4, purl 4* repeat between *s around 

Rounds 6-10: :*purl 4, knit 4* repeat between *s around 

Repeat rounds 1-10 3 times more (total of 40 rounds) 

Repeat rounds 1-5 only, one time  Bind off loosely in pattern, weave in ends, and enjoy!

They're so quick and fun, you'll want to knit a bunch and tack 'em like Alex and Ani bracelets -- super fun for days like today.
