Adrift is a relaxed “wear all day” style cowl featuring herringbone stitch for the top and bottom finished hems, paired with a fun and easy to remember slip stitch design for the body.

The relaxed nature of this cowl allows the top to fold over on itself revealing the gorgeous interior “wrong side” texture. This design is knit with DK weight yarn in two or more colors!

Sample shown knit in yarn from Forest Fiber Arts, reflects a color combination shift as noted in the pattern directions.
