Chicken and Waffles Cowl
Discover the joy of knitting with this fun and quick two-toned cowl pattern, inspired by the Gap's popular two-toned waffle cowlneck. This unique design incorporates a delightful waffle-like stitch on one side, while the reverse showcases a charming “bird foot” pattern. Knit with a bulky weight yarn and a complementary worsted weight yarn, this cowl not only drapes softly but also offers a cozy, squishy texture that makes it perfect for chilly days.
The cowl is skillfully crafted in the round using a circular needle, ensuring a seamless finish. One of the standout features of this pattern is its ingenious simplicity; even though the final product appears to utilize a stranded technique, only one yarn is worked in each round, making it an accessible choice for knitters at any skill level.
This pattern adheres to the terms and abbreviations established by renowned knitter Nancy Marchant, as detailed on her website www.briochestitch.com and in her acclaimed book, Knitting Brioche.
