Waypoint Cowl

Designed by Jill Zielinski
 

The Waypoint Cowl is a timeless garter stitch accessory designed for everyday warmth and effortless style. Knit by holding BayDrift together with BayHouse DK, the resulting fabric is lofty, cozy, and soft. Beginning with a provisional cast-on, the cowl is shaped with gentle increases and matching decreases, while a clever I-cord edge is worked seamlessly throughout. A three-needle bind-off provides a clean, polished finish. Relaxing to knit and quick to finish, it’s a project you’ll enjoy making and wearing. It’s a great gift knit too!
