Are you ready for a squishy and rhythmic stitch pattern that you can really sink into at the end of a busy day? Looking for a simple pattern that is easy to follow and will give you a beautiful and scrumptious cowl? You will love Twice As Nice cowl!

Why is this Twice As Nice? It is written for both a traditional fitting cowl or can be made extra long to double up around your neck for next level warmth and comfort. Worked in a fun and addictive stitch that produces a fabric that is just as beautiful on the front as it is on the back (double sided cowl for the win!).

Only have 1 skein of a special yarn you aren’t exactly sure what to do with? With a little weighing before you begin (or by using a contrasting color for the cast on and bind off), you can make this cowl work with however much yardage you have. I love a good one skein project.

The pattern includes both charted and written instructions, video tutorials for all necessary techniques (including how to work the Triple Honeycomb stitch), as well as a photo tutorial for working the stitch. This pattern is suitable for advanced beginners who are familiar with working with slipped stitches and knit stitches. It has been both technically edited and test knit before publishing.

Additional Notes

-Wet blocking is very important to make the stitch pattern pop! I even like to give it a good tug vertically to help pull all those slipped stitches into their proper alignment.
