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.

Foundations: The first wobbly scarf you knit and knotted proudly around your neck to keep out the cold. The handmade mittens you wore as a child, a gift from a beloved relative. When we think about the hours spent making those items, we understand that they are an act of love. It’s the time you set aside for your own creativity that day. It’s the way you felt as your beloved pulled on your hat as they left for work that day. Each stitch, a hidden wish. The gift of handmade is at the core of our latest series of design collections. We named it ‘Foundations’ because these are the building blocks for a lifelong hobby in which we can clothe ourselves and our loved ones in beautiful colours and texture.
