Naarden Cowl

Naarden Cowl by Salt & Stone Knits | The Naarden Cowl features a panel of contrasting floats framed between stockinette edges that are folded over for extra depth and comfort. Twisted stitches paired with an offset round create a unique, sloping motif. It’s knit in the round and is a great way to use up that special pair of singles you’ve been saving. This pattern is an ideal stashbuster and with the versatility of both a single and double wrap length, you’ll be sure to make the most of your yarn.
