The Back-n-Forth Cowl is a lovely little collection of knits and slips. Yep. That’s it - knits and slips!

Using an easy row sequence of alternating colors and slip stitches with yarn in front and in back, you create an impressive faux-plaid that works up in an extra-squishy fabric. The double-thick construction makes it extra warm, too!

As you slip your stitches through the plaid blocks, you’ll be chanting “back-n-forth-n-back-n-forth…”…trust us, you’ll see. :)
