The Cross Stitch cowl is the pattern that you’ve been searching for when you find that highly variegated skein of yarn that you can’t go home without.

With a seed stitch border, the cross stitch pattern highlights all the different colors letting them each shine in their own way.

The two row pattern repeat is worked flat and is ideal for a project on the go.

For this pattern two different needle sizes are used at the same time, one for every other row.

You can use two straight needles or one 24” circular needle with one needle size on each end.

The two needle sizes should be 4 sizes/1.5mm in difference.
