[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Easy slip-stitch colorwork pattern

[terrypowers59 at gmail.com]

Infinity scarves wrap multiple times where cowels, wrap, once.  The cowel  I made, was supposed to have a button.  I guess they can button or go over the head.

Yes. The two names are often used interchangeably.

However, cowels generally are wider, whereas infinity scarves are often more narrow, by choice of the maker.

I'm not sure what an infinity scarf is, but a cowl is essentially a wide scarf with the 2 ends connected so you just slip it over your head.  I make mine fairly close-fitting.  They're my favorite kind of scarf, though the keyhole is nice, too.

Isn’t it similar to an infinity scarf?
