8.5 sts by 24 R = 4” (10 cm) Square
Sample Yarn is approx 2.25 WPI (Wraps per Inch)
Very Fat Yarn

Uses US 15 (10 cm) needles ~ for yarns at 2 -3 WPI, with smaller yarn adjust needle size accordingly.

Notes

Easily adjustable for width, simply add or subtract multiples of 2 from CO.

Widen and lengthen to make a Cowl or Scarf.

Great with other yarn sizes and gauges too, simply swatch with chosen yarn and needle, figure your sts per inch, and multiply that by how wide you want it. Always CO an odd # of sts and you’re good to go!

Use Provision CO and 3 Needle BO for a closed (no button) project.

Or, for closure try lacing with ribbon. This is great for an adjustable circumference - or if you’re a little short on yarn ;)
