Enjoy my “Shifting lines” cowl pattern! I hope you add it to your faves and wish you happy knitting!

I knitted mine with a super soft Bambon skein, a blend of bamboo and cotton, if you want to knit yours with the same yarn, the knit kits come in great colors and are available at Yarnz2go.

For a cowl this one gives you quite a few styling options. Great textures in simple knit and purl stitches first knitted in the round arranged to move in diagonally shifting lines. A garter section is then knitted flat to create that all important side slit which offers several ways to wear your cowl.

The pattern is written and also offers a chart for the shifting lines pattern. The unblocked size measures 9” in height and 19” around.
