Slipped Lines Cowl

Slipped Lines Cowl

A simple, easily memorized slip-stitch pattern combined with four coordinated colors makes for a stunning cowl that is surprisingly easy to knit. Both sides of the fabric are attractive, which gives you lots of styling options.

The Slipped Lines Cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up. It begins with ribbing that flows into an easy slip-stitch pattern, which flows out to the same ribbing for a symmetrical finish.

There are almost infinite ways to wear this cowl. Let it hang

in a long circle, double loop it, knot it, or twist it and use your favorite cuff or shawl jewelry to hold it in place. Wear it as a sash slung over one shoulder (with or without a belt) or as a shoulder wrap pinned to one side. The possibilities are endless.
