Diagonal Slip Cowl

This cowl is the perfect winter warmer. The texture created by the diagonally moving slip stitches traps air and will keep you cosy even on very chilly days. The pattern makes a deep single loop cowl and has instructions for three sizes - adult, teenager (over 10 years) and child (5 to 10 years).

It would make a perfect gift as it's quick and easy to knit in chunky weight yarn, and looks fantastic. The diagonal pattern almost looks like a spiral when the cowl is worn bunched around your shoulders, but it can also be pulled over your head to keep you protected from the wind.
