Welted Infinity Cowl by Kathleen Cubley

The welted knitting stitch pattern is a fun one to knit. It's a combination of several rows of stockinette stitch followed by several rows of reverse stockinette stitch. The nature of these two stitches when worked in this mannermake a welted pattern, with the stockinette rows rolling one direction and the reverse stockinette rows rolling in the other direction. This makes the cowl reversible, too! This pattern is written for worsted-weight yarn, but a variation for sock yarn is included at the end.
