’Keep it simple!’ is something we often hear and then we go ahead and take absolutely no notice! But occasionally when I’m designing a more complex pattern, one simple element jumps out at me and I think, “that would look amazing on its own!”

And that is exactly how this gorgeous aran weight infinity cowl and my best selling Scarf Number 2 came into being!

This pattern has it all: it’s got great textures, it’s relaxing and quick to knit. It’s simple so can be knitted by anyone and looks great on anyone. But most importantly, it’s cosy! And being a cowl you can wear it on those cold and windy winter walks and not have to worry about having to constantly readjust your scarf to stay warm. It just stays put!

It’s an ideal pattern for last minute gifting or for when you want a carefree, but satisfying project just for yourself.

Happy Knitting!
