The Odori Cowl was born in one of those perfect bursts of random inspiration where out of the blue I knew exactly how many stitches to cast on, precisely what needle size for maximum drape, resulting in the complete and serendipitous usage of only 1 ball. It was magical, one of those cherished and rare knitting moments where I actually didn’t have to frog it and start all over again.
And did I mention I’ve worn it every day since?
The Odori Cowl is knit from one skein of beautiful Noro Odori yarn, a chunky, self-striping quadruple-whammy of angora, silk, kid mohair, and wool. So soft and supple! You can knit one of these in only a couple hours. Make one in every colorway! I am…
