I hope you are inspired to knit my Swift Cowl for yourself, family, and friends.
This texture was created as the foundation for my popular All Too Well scarf pattern, which was inspired by a Taylor Swift music video. I really enjoy how quickly this stitch “swiftly” comes together, and think you’ll have fun trying it out, too!
