This cowl is a seamless infinity scarf with a 180-degree twist, worked in garter stitch in the round horizontally for double thickness and grafted together at the end. This pattern is worked with two strands held together.

Links to video tutorials for the provisional cast-on and twisting and grafting are included in the pattern to supplement the written instructions.

The body of the cowl is very easy to knit. This is a great advanced-beginner pattern--the stitch pattern isn’t complicated but you’ll learn some new techniques like working in the round.

The two strands held together make this cowl chunky and cozy, and the best part about the yarn is that you can machine-wash it. It’s super-soft and doesn’t have that sticky, acrylic feel that some blends have.
