This cozy cowl combines classic knitting with a fun touch of crochet to create beautiful KniChet stitches that make the variegated yarn pop against a solid background. Don't let the crochet part intimidate you—it's very simple, and no prior crochet experience is needed. The pattern includes clear instructions to guide you through every step. It's also a wonderful stash-busting project, making great use of leftover DK-weight yarn while creating a striking, textured fabric.

Tapestry needle for weaving in ends. 1 stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round. Size 3 crochet hook for creating the KniChet stitches.
