Fringed Cowl

 I bought a cowl from Stitch Fix in the last year or so.  I was quite surprised by how much I like the cowl.  It is soft and easy and is fringed,  I wanted to duplicate it, but that has not proved to be so simple.  I have started and given up on several ideas.  The one I am now working on could possibly work,  I am in Boston.  I brought some red white and blue yarn that I thought I might use for a DAR wrap, but I haven't yet done so.  So I took out the Red yarn in DK weight,  It is Indiecita DK  100% Baby Alpaca.  I bought a cowl pattern by Ambah O'Brien called Zaggy Cowl for inspiration.  However, I am not following the pattern exactly.  I cast on slightly more stitches:  138.  It is a repeat of only two stitches, so any even number of stitches should work.   It lends itself to notecard organization which makes it fairly mindless.  I am liking it so far,  I just didn't want to loose my thoughts this morning.  I'll update my post as I move along on this project.
