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.
