This pattern is the second pattern in a series of 3 exploring different styles of texture stitching in 3 different styles of garments. This pattern is being called an intermediate level pattern only because it is so easy to get off-pattern while knitting. The pattern is fairly simple, but easily can get confusing, so stitch markers between pattern repeats are imperative.

I have knitted these two samples with new Noro summer yarns in a DK and a worsted weight, but the pattern does include instructions for determining your cast-on using any weight of yarn. I am thinking of knitting another sample in fingering weight, and one in bulky to demonstrate the easy adaptability of this pattern.

Both of the Noro yarns used come in 150 gram balls. One entire skein of Haruito is used for the scarf. About half of a skein om Kompeito is used for the cowl.
