Can this cowl be knitted in the round?
No, it is knit length wise.
No, I’m sorry it cannot since its knit lengthwise.
Another beautiful pattern and looks so easy. Love all your patterns unfortunately I have to store this one until I get done with the baby blanket I am doing. In fact it is the one with paintbox yarn I white and purple. Again thanks for sharing your beautiful work. Don’t know the website.

Awe, you are so welcome Belinda!
Love this pattern. Could you use worsted wool instead of bulky ?
Yes, you could, but the end result would be less thick. I recommend sticking with a bulky weight yarn if you want to get the same look as in the photo.
