Poldybloom is a pattern for a short infinity scarf cowl with a textured stitch. Suitable for people of any gender, it is designed to showcase the texture of a single skein of handspun or commercial thick-and-thin yarn. The pattern repeat is simple and easy to memorize, making it a good beginner project or a meditative knit for the advanced knitter. It is fully reversible, with equally attractive right and wrong sizes.
