Manzanita Scarf and Cowl

A quick knit cowl that combines two related stitches for fantastic texture and interesting contrast.  Wear it long as a scarf, wrap it over your shoulders or twist it up as a cowl.  Make it in a lightweight, silky yarn for your spring and summer wardrobe or in a drapey, heavier yarn for cold weather.  You will find these stitches to be an easy, rhythmic knit that results in a scarf so versatile you will wear it with everything from casual to dressy.  The fun part is finding that you get three attractive textures out of two stitch patterns! 

*The design is named after Manzanita Beach on the Oregon coast which has weather and terrain as varied as this scarf.  It’s a rather secluded and quaint little spot off of Hwy 101 where you can relax, enjoy the quiet (or wild!)  beachfront, and make lifelong friends and memories — all in a single magical weekend.  *
