Meditate
Meditate is a soothing, rhythmic knit that’s designed to use every last yard of a single skein of luxury yarn. Slipped stitches form tiny bands of double knitting in the mostly garter stitch design—providing small waypoints that keep the knitting engaging, and create an elegant fabric.
The pattern is written for two sizes: a wide single loop that will scrunch cozily around the neck, and a longer loop that can be worn as an infinity scarf or doubled for extra warmth. Both cowls are worked flat from end to end.
