Garter stitch creates a gorgeously squishy fabric which works perfectly for the Jessica Cowl. This super cosy oversized cowl is knit flat on 10mm needles. The two ends are then joined to create a tube and sewn together using mattress stitch.

This easy knit pattern is the ideal starting project for any beginner knitter, but is equally apt for those looking for an easy sofa project to inject some quiet, mindful moments into their day. Feel your mind start to quieten with the repetitive stitches and bask in the satisfaction of seeing your project work up so quickly in the super chunky yarn .
