This cozy, unisex cowl reminds me of blustery days on the coast when I would hunker my chin down into my coat. If I’d had a cowl like this, made of soft wool to block the wind, I wouldn’t have needed to hunker. The cowl is named for the pattern’s resemblance to plaid. You’ll find making the elongated stitches that create the effect to be easier than warping a loom to weave a true plaid, though!

This pattern contains specific instructions and links to video tutorials for the special techniques used: I-cord cast on and bind off, wrapped/elongated stitches, and slipped stitch colorwork.

The cowl is offered in one size, which fits most adults, but instructions are included for scaling up or down in both width and height.
