Garter Stitch Cowl

The joy of a cowl knit exactly how you like - long enough to loop? To cover your hair? Or perhaps short enough to tuck into your jacket on blustery days?

By keeping things simple, we’re allowing you the freedom to choose your own style. This garter stitch cowl is worked in the round and includes written instructions for both long and short options. By alternating colours each row, you can also add a few stripes into your winter accessories that work up in no time.
