Sometimes that is your circus and those are your monkeys, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing - especially when they’re in a reversible cowl with a fascinating textured stitch pattern that looks great on either side! The cowl is worked in the round with a combination of knits, purls, and 2-stitch twists -- there’s not an increase or decrease in sight! The stitch pattern is provided in written and charted form. A matching hat pattern, Mój Cyrk, Moje Małpy, is also available.

Skills: Following a stitch pattern, working in the round, twisting stitches. Skill level: adventurous intermediate.

Revision - Nov. 4, 2024: The upper border of the cowl has been updated. The stitches are now K1 tbl, P1 instead of K1, P1. The current version of the pattern is 158-241104-RevA.
