A cold morning, a Target run, yoga pants, and giant sunglasses. All that is missing is this cowl. The beautiful texture just lays so nicely over your sweater or under your jacket. This pattern comes with a photo guide to help even new beginners master the Waffle Stitch.

This pattern have been tech edited AND pattern tested. Due to its digital nature, it is not available for refunds. However, I am happy to answer any questions concerning the pattern!

Here is what the pattern testers have said:

   "Your design is such fun to work up, with a beautiful finished (abs warm!!!) textured piece. Thank you so much for the opportunity to test for you. And cheers to a really great pattern! The pattern itself is perfectly organized and detailed; easy to follow along and clear to understand!"
