The DRK Everyday Cowl by Andrea Mowry is a pattern you can relax into as you knit it again and again, with its soothing garter stitch and polished slip stitches and I-cord edges, and the potential for stripes or plain or as a stash buster.

It is knit flat, on the bias, and seamed at the back neck to create a cowl that wears like a triangle shawl (with none of the fuss!) The pattern includes sizes for the whole family!
