Looking through a l950’s leaflet of stitch patterns I found the “Ant Egg Stitch”. For this cowl I used the stitch in the round, which gives a different twist on the pattern. Although the stitch pattern is not meant to be reversible, the back side has a very attractive waterfall effect created by the slipped stitches. The two patterns, front and back, contrast nicely together.

The cowl is long enough to be wrapped a second time around the neck or pulled up over the head for a hat and scarf combination.

Enjoy your cowl!
