“In 2 gauges.”

We discovered this stitch pattern in a vintage French knitting compendium. Reminiscent of tiny crocheted granny-square clusters, it’s full of ‘yarn overs’ and ‘lift overs,’ so we dubbed it ‘Over & Over’. Plus, it’s so fun you’ll want to knit it over and over again!

And now you have two gauges to choose from - fingering or chunky weight - as well as two sizes of loop: a 28”/70cm cowl or a generous 48”/122cm loop, long enough to wear doubled around your neck.
