DESIGN
„Like Cotton Candy“ is a 2 in 1 pattern for:

  • Size “Infinity scarf” to wear doubled around the neck or around your shoulders
  • Size “Cowl”

PATTERN
Both versions, the infinity scarf as well as the cowl, are knitted in the round from bottom to top. Both have the same nice cable pattern which is easy to remember once you got into the rhythm of the cables.
The pattern contains written row-by-row instructions accompanied by charts for the respective parts for a wholistic understanding of the construction.

SIZES
Infinity scarf
125cm circumference x 27cm height (50”x11”) after washing and blocking.
