2/11/12: The key for all three charts was mistaken; the explanation of the pink-colored square should be "k with CC, p with MC." This has been corrected in version 2 of the pattern.

The Double Knit Three is a trio of cowls done up in fun prints that add a splash to any ensemble: polka dots for whimsical flair, leopard print for when you’re feeling spicy, and a Southwestern-inspired geometrical pattern for more refined days. Because they are worked in the Double Knitting technique, they are reversible, thus doubling your Double Knit fun.

The pdf includes a brief introduction to the Double Knitting technique and patterns for all three cowls, with written directions and full colorwork charts. Each cowl uses 170 yards of a main color and 150 yards of contrast, so they work up pretty quickly and are a great way to use up extra yarn you have around. And it's not too late to add one of them to your holiday gift knitting list!

Six cowls in three. You can't go wrong with that!

that is such a clever little trio of pattern!! I love that they are reversible, I haven't tried double knitting before, can you believe it? And I bet the double knitting makes them extra warm, too.
You are so super talented, Hilary!! The grellow one is my favorite!
6 cowls for the price of 1! What a great deal. These look like a ton of fun.
Love them- the colors are just perfect!
I dig these. I really enjoy the reversability. Invertability. Flexibility!
