Give your neck a hug with the Red Heart Unforgettable yarn using this Linen Stitch Infinity Cowl pattern. Designed by me to design something that personally bugs me a lot. When a cowl or scarf catches in the zipper or looks bulky under the jacket. I know, first-world problems.
This infinity is tight fitting so it wraps snugly around the neck with the twist. With my jacket up without having to do the zipper to the top, it blocks the wind and cold from my neck.
This is designed at 11" diameter and 9" wide. The infinity twist creates an elastic motion to the cowl to keep it snug to your body. When the jacket is opened, you can see that it doesn't droop lower than it should.
You will use 1 ball full of Red Heart Unforgettable yarn. The colour used was called Gossamer.
