Siksak means zigzag in Finnish and Danish. It is one of my favourite cowls. The stitch pattern creates a really eye-catching pattern where they appear to zig and zag across the finished material. However, it is deceptively easy; using only knitted and slipped stitches. This makes it a great project for new knitters who a ready for a bit more of a challenge, as well as anyone looking for something that is easy to pick up and put down. You will easily memorise the pattern and be able to work on it whilst watching TV.

The sample was knitted Hayfield Bonus DK (100% Acrylic) in colourway Azure.
