Squishy is a cowl designed for speedy knitting. Worked in one skein of bulky yarn, this cowl will fly off your needles – ideal for gifting. The deceptively simple stitch pattern makes it suitable for advanced beginners as well as experienced knitters. Texture and squish are gratifyingly high in this project!
Designing this cowl proved unexpectedly challenging: it had to be a quick knit, seamless, and use basic techniques, while still providing visual and textural interest with good stitch definition. As it turns out, the wrong side of the cowl is attractive too, so it’s reversible!
