This highly textured cowl can be worn several ways – depending on the weather and the mood; button it all the way up, or undo a few buttons at top or bottom for flexibility when there’s a rise in temperature, or for indoor wear.

The pattern stitch is a straightforward combo of knitting and purling. Our sample is styled for women, but the cowl would be great on a guy too – maybe with rustic wooden buttons or toggles?

Skills Needed:
Long-tail cast on (CO), knitting (K), purling (P), binding off (BO), picking up and knitting vertical edgings
