Sometimes, a little walk through the woods really helps to relax my mind. Here’s to a bit of easy knitting, fresh air, and time outside.

Pattern Notes:
Pattern is worked in the round.
Cowl features garter borders and textured zig-zag pattern.
Sample designed with DK, but feel free to hold a strand of mohair alongside the DK yarn for a worsted weight version.
Worsted weight version will slightly increase the width and depth, and create a fabric with a little more drape.
Pattern is modifiable by circumference and depth by changing the number of stitches or rounds.
Increase or decrease circumference by any multiple of 6 sts.
Increase or decrease depth by any multiple of 11 rounds, maintaining zig-zag pattern.
Blocking is essential to demonstrate pattern design
