As a knitter, I love giving handmade gifts; there’s always something incredibly satisfying about making something for someone you love. The downfall of knitted gifts, however, lies in the simple fact that there never seems to be enough time! Christmas is the worst, as we all know, but other occasions like births and birthdays also have a way of sneaking up on you. Sometimes there is a need for quick knits, and that’s what this post is all about!

For these pieces, I made some time saving modifications to my nokori cowl. Instead of changing the texture throughout the piece, I stuck with garter stitch all the way. This cut down on knitting time, but I think the cowls still retain the uniqueness of the original design.

To make you own, all you need to do is follow the original pattern, but knit everything in garter with a slip stitch edge!
