The Puddle Jumping Cowl started as a short design challenge. Was it possible to design a simple project on a short flight to a teaching job? I didn’t have anything on my needles and had packed a single skein of self striping yarn. Three hours after boarding my flight, I landed with the first few rounds of this cowl finished.

This pattern works best with self striping yarn. The pattern is easy to memorize. It’s only 4 lines long. Markers will help you keep your place in each repeat as you work through the pattern.

This project is good for knitters who have tried increases and decreases and want to learn the Stacked Stitch technique.

These videos will help with the unfamiliar stitches in the pattern:
