Named for the attractive switchback effect this simple pattern creates, this chunky cowl still has a lacy look.

A quick knit!

There are seed stitch borders, but you could do garter if you prefer. Just remember that in the round, you knit the first round, and purl the next.

The lace pattern is quite simple. Rounds 1 - 4 are pretty much the same, and Rounds 5 - 8 are very similar to each other.

Happy knitting!
