THE DESIGN
“A basketful of fun!”
For this free pattern, we took our inspiration from the wicker weave of a basket! A bit of ribbing, some slipping of stitches, and the choice of a super-chunky-weight yarn creates a fabric with great structure and very cuddly squish. A delight to make and a treat to wear, the slipped basket stitch is a great addition to any knitter’s repertoire—and to any knitter’s wardrobe!

The Slipped Basket Stitch Cowl is a fast, fun knit in Rowan Big Wool—a woolly mammoth of a yarn that makes any stitch pattern really pop! Spun from 100% merino wool, this yarn bulk belies an easy-to-work-with softy that knits up any project in a jiff. You’ll find that this cowl flies off your needles and around your neck in no time!
