Great texture and so simple to knit, great for a beginner! 2 options in one pattern -a shorter cowl, or a long wrap around scarf instructions included. This is constructed in straight forward knit and purl stitches in a double parallelogram pattern to provide chunky texture and style.

Cowl

Make a short version and add over sized statement buttons (I chose coconut shell buttons) for a cowl or omit the buttons and join in the round for a more simple cowl look. The cowl is knit in the round on regular needles for the button / open version. To knit an infinity version, use circular needles and knit in the round. You’ll need 2 balls of yarn for this version.

Long Scarf

Or if you or your man prefer to wrap up, choose to create a long wrap around scarf with horizontal pattern. You’ll need 4 balls for this version for 60” length.
