This soft cosy cowl will keep your neck snug and warm. It’s quickly knit in a simple slipstitch pattern - ideal for making last minute gifts, using up left overs or practicing the slipstitch techniques. The stitch pattern was inspired by Barbara Walkers Ridge Check pattern in her Second Treasury of knitting patterns.

A huge thank you to missDebKnits who tested this pattern.
