11/13/19: This pattern is now a complementary design as a small way of saying thank you for your support over the years. It is freezing here on the East Coast. I hope the zigzag pattern keeps you warm and toasty.

The basics: its a snood, a cowl, a hood, a scarf, a cowl or a wrap that stays ON. The yarn is a dream to knit with and the finished result is like cashmere without the cost. I used 5 skeins of Twist with enough left over to make a hat.

The back story: On February 15, 2010 we took in a tiny little puppy named Dexter. I was constantly going outside to let him use the facilities (ie: trees, plants, grass). I needed something to keep me warm and toasty…so 8 months later I now have my warmth in the form of “Dexter” (ready for this winter). The 2 by 2 ribbing is always moving to the left or to the right….zigs and zags….how the puppy is in constant motion. I love this dog. Hope you love this pattern. xo
