Thorn Stitch Cowl

The Thorn Stitch Cowl is a sharp-looking addition to any outfit and a wonderful knit gift idea! An intermediate knitting pattern for those who feel a little more comfortable around their knitting needles, this knit cowl pattern uses an 8-round stitch pattern to interest the knitter, but not overwhelm. The design also carries that same sentiment, the thorn stitch lives up to its name as it produces a pattern that is not unlike the tiny thorns of a bramble. This pattern combined with light DK yarn creates a cowl far softer than its namesake.
