This pattern is the ultimate “His and Hers” project, offering two distinct aesthetics to suit any personality: a delicate Floral Chart for an elegant touch and a bold Psychedelic Chart for a geometric vibe. Whether you choose the flowing length of a scarf or the snug fit of a cowl (both included in the pattern), these designs let you create a coordinated set that is unified in spirit but unique in style.
Because both sides are always visible, it is the perfect showcase for double knitting, a technique that produces two “right sides” with zero messy floats. The result is a thick, squishy, and fully reversible fabric that looks flawless from every angle and provides twice the warmth for those chilly days.
If you don’t know Double-knitting and want to step into this amazing world, a workshop is available to teach you the fundamentals of the technique, and it includes that pattern!
Working on a swatch, you’ll learn how to hold the yarns comfortably, achieve balanced tension, read charts for double knitting, and shape the cut-out silhouette.

Scarf Version: cast-on for double-knitting and work the chart repeats as indicated in the pattern, or until the scarf reaches your preferred length.
Cowl Version: Start with a provisional cast on to keep your stitches live. Once knitting is complete, the live stitches from the cast-on edge are grafted to the final row to achieve a seamless finish.
Support: Comprehensive video tutorials for the double-knitting technique, shaping, the provisional double-knitting cast-on, and seamless grafting are provided directly within the pattern at the steps where they are required.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Scarf: Length approx 59” / 150 cm, width approx 10.25” / 26 cm.
Cowl: Length before grafting approx 24” / 60 cm, width approx 10.25” / 26 cm.
YARN
Any fingering- to light-sport weight yarn is suitable for these projects.
For the Scarf: This piece is designed to drape and fall elegantly around the neck. Yarns with significant drape and weight (such as superwash merino, or alpaca blends) work beautifully, as do light, airy, “woolly” yarns.
For the Cowl: If you prefer a cowl that holds its shape and stands upright to protect against the wind, opt for an airy, lightweight, woolen-spun yarn, and avoid heavy yarns with significant drape (such as superwash merino, or alpaca blends). Working this on a smaller needle to achieve a tighter gauge will provide the structure needed to keep the cowl from collapsing.
Yardage needed:
For the scarf: 492 yd (450 m) of each color, dark (color B) and light (color A).
For the cowl: 202 yd (185 m) of each color, dark (color B) and light (color A)
