This easy 4 row repeat slip stitch pattern creates a lovely houndstooth pattern when using three colors. The beauty of slip stitch is - you only knit with one color at a time! Knit in the round, this cowl is substantial in it’s density, creating a cowl neck appearance when worn. The edges are a rolled stockinette stitch. The cotton cashmere blend of the Vita is suprisingly soft and warm. The perfect cowl to transition from Winter into Spring! If you’ve never tried slip stitch knitting before, this is a great pattern to get started!
