This stitch pattern is way simpler and easier than it looks, it just takes twice as long as knit than a regular garter or stockinette stitch cowl. The yarn I used was supposed to be for another project, and I didn’t have quite enough to make this cowl the full size stated in the pattern. It’s still plenty wide enough and cozy to boot, though. This is a great quick-knit-in-between-more-complicated-patterns project.
