Fiber Friends cowl is built around the idea of friendship. It’s inspired by the incomparable wonder of connecting with people who understand you deeply, whether it is at Rhinebeck, in your knitting circle, or at home with Ravelry friends you may never have met in person.

About this pattern

  • It uses two strands of yarn, twined together, to create a plush and cushy fabric.

  • There are vertical panels of friendship cables and sweet honeycombs, and it’s gently shaped to narrow at the top, ever so slightly, like a soft hug.

  • I’ve placed most of the cables on a single round so that you have plenty of easy rounds, and just that occasional bit where you need to focus (to keep your knitterly side fully engaged and interested).

The cowl uses nearly all of each skein of yarn, just the way you want to soak up every minute with a good friend.
