Catalina Cowl

This quick and easy cowl is made up using very basic, beginner level stitches often called the "houndstooth" stitch pattern. Using thicker yarn and a bigger hook makes this project fast for market prep or gifting. It uses very little in supplies and is reversible. **Terms Used & Abbreviations:** Pattern is written in US terminology.
