Slanted Stripes
Slanted Stripes
PDF KNITTING PATTERN. PRICES ARE IN USD.
Ready to put your favourite, beautiful skeins of yarn to work? The Slanted Stripes cowl is the perfect canvas for variegated, self-striping, or speckled yarns, or just your favourite skein of hand dyed perfection! It utilizes a simple chevron shape — it’s easy knitting, but super rewarding too! And it’s versatile. Turn your tube so different spots of the chevron are facing out and get perfect symmetry or a slightly off-kilter look. Add it to your favourite neutral outfit for a pop of colour, or make it in striping naturals to go with anything.
