This cozy, unisex cowl reminds me of blustery days on the coast when I would hunker my chin down into my coat. If I’d had a cowl like this, made of soft wool to block the wind, I wouldn’t have needed to hunker.
The cowl is named for the pattern’s resemblance to plaid. You’ll find making the elongated stitches that create the effect to be easier than warping a loom to weave a true plaid, though!
This pattern contains specific instructions and links to video tutorials for the special techniques used: I-cord cast on and bind off, wrapped/elongated stitches, and slipped stitch colorwork.
You are purchasing a knitting pattern.
