Sometimes we need a pattern that is repetitive enough for Netflix binging, while still being complex enough to hold our interest. The textured stitch used in this pattern does just that and creates a squishy stitch pattern that is so warm and cozy, especially when you pull it up around your face as a hood,

It’s a great way to use a gradient kit or to use up sport weight leftovers in various colors. Or you could forgo the color changes and make it out of one big squishy skein. The instructions are written for a cowl that is long enough to pull up as a hood if a cold wind blows, but can easily be adapted to a shorter or even longer cowl. The pattern includes info for how to do so, and how to substitute for the gradient sets used in the samples.

The samples use Mad Hatter gradient kits by Wonderland Yarns & Frabjous Fibers, which consist of five 87 yard mini skeins.
