Simple Knit + Purl Cowl Pattern (Free)
Free Simple Knit + Purl Knit Cowl Pattern
This is a very simple cowl that creates a unique look by the way the garment rolls on either end with the simple bind off. The garment is meant to roll to create a fun look. You'll be completing stockinette stitch on the right side for half the width and then stockinette stitch on the wrong side for the last half. You’ll be knitting back and forth lengthwise.
