Free Knitting Pattern // Seed Stitch Cowl

I fell in love with this fun yarn from Michael's and I decided to turn it into a very quick and simple cowl! I wrote up the pattern in case you're looking for a fun and fast free knit cowl pattern.

The finished stitch pattern looks fancy and complicated but it is super simple!! If you can knit and purl you can whip up this cowl in no time flat. This piece is worked flat (read straight needles) and then sewn together with an intentional twist. This mobias effect gives the cowl more body and interest without requiring the time and yarn to knit a long cowl that gets doubled up. I loved the colors of this very affordable Loops & Threads yarn but any super bulky yarn will work great. The whole thing start to finish doesn't take more than two hours, pop in your favorite movie, and you'll have a great last minute gift by the time the credits roll!

To sew together first put one twist in the piece and then sew the two short edges together with the excess yarn.
