This is my latest knitting pattern, inspired by a beautiful shawl/cowl/infinity scarf that a lady in town wove. This “showl” is a great in-between season accessory and looks great with a light coat or sweater to add a little extra warmth.

This “showl” is cast on using an open/invisible cast-on and then joined to the end using kitchener stitch to make a continuos loop. The seam is still somewhat visible though, and if doing an open cast-on is intimidating for you, go ahead and use your regular cast-on method and sew up the two ends in whatever way works best for you.
