I recently put these series of stitch patterns together for my Balmoral Beanie pattern and loved it so much I thought I’d use it for this lovely cowl also. The herringbone and mosaic stitch patterns featured remind me of waves in the ocean so I named this pattern after one of my favourite beaches in Sydney - Freshwater. This pattern includes instructions for a single or double (infinity) loop.
