The Interlock Cowl is knit with bulky yarn and brioche stitch to create a simple yet decorative cowl. The interlocking design is made by knitting the cowl in two pieces, then looping them together and joining. It’s a quick knit with a luxurious chunky yarn. It takes only a day to whip up this warm and cushy neck warmer.

Note: Since each stitch is worked only once every two rows, the number of rows actually worked is double what it appears to be.
