Zack Sideways Vest Designer Knitting Pattern

With this designer pattern create a single stripe cowl with the amazingly simple helical striped knitting technique. Fall in love with working single row stripes without jogs or floats.

Designer Knitting Pattern
The Amelia cowl begins and ends with ribbing. The rest of this project is worked in the helical striping technique. There are no jogs in the alternating single-row stripes. And there are no floats on the wrong side. Both sides are distinctive and equally beautiful, so the cowl is reversible. It is like two cowls in one.

Designer Knitting Pattern
When I discovered the helical knitting technique, I couldn’t resist designing an entire collection of patterns. It is a remarkably simple way to work 1-row, 2-color stripes in the round. Magically, there are no jogs and no floats on the inside. In this case it is applied to an equally simple fingerless glove pattern. It amounts to a tube with generous bands of ribbing at each end and thumb hole in the center. Fold the ribbing over to reveal the fingers, or keep it closed to keep them warm. How’s that for simple?
