The coral moon stitch is one of my favorite stitch patterns. It’s easy to memorize after a few rows and it looks so impressive. A great project for learning to “read” your stitches, soon you’ll be looking to the row below for yo and decrease placement instead of your pattern. Plus, you can use this project to swatch for the Coral Moon sweater as the gauge is the same for both! The cowl is knit in the round and can be made as tall as your yarn allows by repeating the pattern more or less times than indicated.
