The Maid of the Mist

Downloadable PDF knitting pattern.  

The Maid of the Mist is a cozy infinity cowl made in a squishy dk weight yarn. It
features reversible eyelet and lace rib stitch patterns which add even more volume to
the finished knit.

This cowl is knit sideways making the pattern easily customisable. The yardage and
dimensions are given for the Infinity loop, to wear it in a double wrap style to keep you
warm on a chilly day.

The cast-on edge and the last row of a knitted piece are joined together with the
Kitchener Stitch to form a loop. To add more interest to this accessory, it can be made in
two or multiple colours.
