An easy-to-wear and easy-to-make accessory, the Twisted Cowl is a pattern that you will reach for time and time again! The faux-garter stitch created with slip stitches gives it an elevated knitted look while still being worked out incredibly quickly. It is the perfect project to use up some stash yarn since it can be made with any weight available, but a bulky or chunky weight is best. Best part? It doubles as a headband!
