WiFi is a simple garter stitch cowl with the addition of short rows that create a striped focal point, but also creates a cowl that is longer in front adding more warmth in the front and less bunching in the back.

I’m always looking for fun ways to use up small amounts of textured handspun yarn and this pattern is suitable for both smooth and textured, handspun and commercial yarn. The fringe is an optional design detail.

SIZING- work to desired size or:
Height: 9” down the front (stripe section)
Height: 7” down the back of the neck
Width: 10” across the top of the neck
Width: 13” across the base of the front (the stipe section)

PATTERN NOTES

W&T- Use your preferred Wrap and Turn method. I like the Shadow Wrap technique shown on the Soctopus website: http://socktopus.co.uk/2011/02/05/short-rows-shadow-wraps/

M1- Use your preferred method to make 1 stitch. I use a “bar increase”, shown here: http://www.lionbrand.com/faq/77.html
