Reversible Houndstooth Cowl Pattern

Basic Skills Necessary:
- Knitting in the round.
- Stranded colourwork
Pattern Description:
This reversible cowl is knit in the round in two pieces and then knit together to create a double-thick fabric that gives you extra warmth and wind protection, trapping warmed air in between its layers. The cowl was designed to keep its shape and stay in place where it should be: right around your neck.
Houndstooth is such a classic design motif, and I wanted this cowl to highlight a large and a small repeat, both of which look so incredible from a distance. The knit and purl edge at top and bottom finish the piece off elegantly, mimicking a beaded edge.
The pattern is one size and requires a 4 mm circular needle (74 cm), as well as two to three skeins of yarn in two contrasting colours. To make this pattern, you should know how to do stranded colorwork and how to knit in the round.

My grandma taught me to crochet when I was a kid, and then I taught myself to knit when I was 12. Over the years, I haven?t always knitted, but I always find myself going back to it. For the past few years, I?ve been knitting and crocheting steadily with the intention of picking up new techniques and improving my skills. It also seems the more I knit, the more ideas I come up with, and I started creating my own patterns when I couldn?t find patterns that matched the ideas in my head.
Knitting and crocheting are my form of meditation, and I hope they can be that for you too.
