Storyteller Cowl Knitting Pattern

The free version of the pattern is available when you sign up for my newsletter, but you may purchase a PDF here on Payhip if you prefer to have a printable PDF.

Description

The Storyteller Cowl was my first pattern and is still one of my most popular. It is a great pattern for showcasing both solid and variegated yarns. Inspired by the Storyteller Hat by Lindsey Faciane of The Chesapeake Needle, it features a mock-honeycomb stitch and half twisted ribbing. Find two skeins of DK yarn and watch it fly off your needles.
