A beginner-friendly textured cowl knitted in two colours of DK weight yarn.

When the weather turns and the chill starts to bite a little, it’s nice to stay warm and cosy. Chocolate Toffee has enough length to tuck inside a coat or to wrap twice around your neck. The pattern is easy to alter if you would like to make your cowl longer, shorter or wider.

The DK weight yarn means this will knit up quickly and the combination of basic knit and purl stitches makes it an ideal pattern for the beginner or advanced knitter alike.
