Herding Cats Double Knit Cowl
NOTE There is also a stranded version of this pattern! Be sure to get the correct pattern based on your preferences!! This pattern is for the Double Knit version. The stranded version can be found over here
This is a whimsical double knit design that has a bunch of cats along a fence. Just try herding all those cats!! Reversible cats!! This project is perfect for a beginner who wants to try double knit for the first time, but it is also suitable for those who are advanced beginners and experienced knitters as well. This cowl can easily be adjusted to make it longer or shorter if desired by adding more or fewer repeats of the cat charts. The pattern includes four large charts.
