Understated style is the foundation for this rhythmic and relaxed knit cowl! Ideal for self–striping yarn, the simple 4–row repeat creates a gently undulating stockinette stitch. Worked seamlessly in tubular formation, the double layer of fabric results in a softer, rounder silhouette. Prefer a longer cowl? The pattern’s adjustable circumference provides a customized fit.

Cowl is worked vertically in rounds, then sewn together at center back.
