This pattern is based on a stitch by Barbara Walker called “little parachutes” - it’s a great stitch for when you need something to focus on - but not TOO much.

I’ve written the cowl pattern for 2 different gauges so that you can use fingering, sport or DK weight (you can use solid, semi-solid, striping or gradient - all work well).

I’ve also included 2 options for the edging - make them both the same, or make one of each.

And I’ve included written instructions for those who don’t work from charts.

Many thanks to the testers:
