Twice as Good – a Reversible Winter Cowl
By Lotte Elmann Wegner / @knittingpartner

A timeless Nordic winter motif, reimagined for modern knitters.
Twice as Good is a reversible cowl worked in double knitting—which means no wrong side, just double the beauty. Crisp white and deep black form a striking contrast, showcasing traditional snow crystals and branch-like motifs.

The pattern is designed for double knitting, creating a warm and squishy double-layered fabric, perfect for cold climates. But if you prefer, it can just as easily be worked in stranded colourwork —instructions for both methods are included.

Whether you’re a double knitting enthusiast or just want to try something new, this project is both meditative and satisfying, and the finished cowl is a piece you’ll wear for years—or pass on as a keepsake.

Pattern includes:
Full written instructions
Double knitting and stranded knitting options
Chart with traditional Nordic motifs
Detailed bind-off and finishing tips

Skills needed:
Basic double knitting (resources recommended if you’re new)
Or stranded colourwork (some floats to manage)
