People may not believe you knitted this cowl — the fabric is more woven in appearance. I have used the Wrong Side as the exposed side but the reverse, Right Side is also interesting giving you a reversible piece. It is deceptively simple and very quick to knit. Use two soft yarns and you will have a plush, warm piece that you will never want to take off.

Size
Cowl is approximately 28in / 71 cm in circumference as written but is very easy to adjust. Just make sure to CO an odd number of stitches.

Materials
Yarn

Yarn A: Approx 145 yds / 133 m worsted weight yarn. 

Yarn B: Approx 60 yds / 55 m chunky to bulky weight yarn (yarn calling for US 11–13 needle). The thicker your Yarn B is, the bigger the “nibs” of texture will be.

Note: The yarn amounts are based on a 28” circumference and a 13–14” height. If you would like a taller cowl, be sure to buy an extra skein of yarn to accommodate your desired height.

And this video shows it but sometimes goes two stitches where you will go one stitch under the carried yarn and one stitch above, repeated around:
