This cozy cowl features yarn carried in front and knitted stitches moving up and down to look like reindeer tracks. A beautiful pattern to show off the colors of variegated yarn, this cowl also looks great in solid colors. This pattern is easy, but suggested for advanced beginners or experiences knitters who are familiar with knitting terms and slipped stitch techniques.

Because of the slipped stitches, the gauge of this cowl tightens up as you knit. Be careful not to pull the yarn carried in front or behind the stitches too tight, as it will make it difficult to knit and pull the cowl out of shape. If you are a tight knitter, you might want to go up a needles size or two.
