A simple slipped-stitch pattern creates a watercolor look and waffle-like texture in this sweet, soft cowl.

Worked over an even number of stitches, the eye of partridge stitch pattern makes the size of this cowl easy to adjust. Slipped stitches make for a denser, warmer fabric that is still fluid and elastic.
