MY DESIGN IDEAS & ADVICE
This cosy cowl is knitted in super chunky yarn – super easy to knit and super easy to wear!
I designed it with Hetty, who had only just started knitting and wanted to give circular needles a go. She loved the double moss stitch pattern, and I thought it would be perfect for something simple, quick and satisfying.
The result was a design she could pick up and relax with after school – and before long she was knitting a few more as Christmas presents for her friends. They’re wonderfully addictive, take just two hanks, and best of all – no sewing up!

GAUGE (tension)
8 stitches and 16 rows to 10cm square over double moss stitch. I obtained this gauge with 10mm needles. It is important to obtain gauge so do swatch and change your needle size to achieve the correct gauge if you need to.
