Striped Cowl Knitting

It's that season again and I figured I would try this from "knit and bake". Love the chunky knits and have never really worked with circular needles before. So with a little help from notes and the internet I think this worked out quite nicely.

The instructions looked like she knitted about 10 rows, but I was afraid that that would be too much so I stopped at 5 rows and that was just enough for me. Though I think that the circumference is a little wide. But hey at least I can get it on and off.
Anyway, all it is is just knitting in 4 rows and purling in 4 rows.
