A fully-reversible, textured cowl worked with only knits and purls, and suitable for both men and women. The stitch pattern is easy to memorize, so this is a great “take-along” or gift project.

Like the Busy Bee Society Socks, Busy Bee Society Hat, and Busy Bee Society Mitts, this pattern was inspired by the book Little Women and Jo’s impressive ability to read a book aloud while also knitting a sock.

Two sizes with options for buttoned (worked flat) and in-the-round versions are available, so you can make this cowl for almost anyone.

Yardage approx. 195 (295) yds.
