Knitting pattern cowl / boyfriend-loop for men

The cowl, that men love too!! Cowl ANSGAR impresses with an exciting knit-and-purl pattern which introduces a three-dimensional texture! It’s easy to knit but it needs a little bit of concentration, until you have internalized the pattern. You can twist the cowl twice around your neck (therefore, it’s actually an infinity scarf). Pattern is both, written and charted. You get 2 versions: You can knit this cowl in rows or in rounds, however you wish!
