Storyteller Cowl Knitting Pattern
The Storyteller Cowl was my first pattern and is still one of my most popular. It is a great pattern for showcasing both solid and variegated yarns. Inspired by the Storyteller Hat by Lindsey Faciane of The Chesapeake Needle, it features a mock-honeycomb stitch and half twisted ribbing. Find two skeins of DK yarn and watch it fly off your needles. To get this pattern for free, use this link to subscribe to my newsletter.

Let customers speak for us
Such a lovely and practical project bag, beautifully made. I love it and am glad I purchased it.
Amazing design, and the inside is almost as pretty as the outside. I never knit a full garment in brioche before this, but there were enough explanations and tips that I managed a perfect fit. Well worth knitting.
