WiFi
By
Brittany Wilson
Wifi is a simple garter stitch cowl with the addition of short rows that create a striped focal point, but also creates a cowl that is longer in front adding more warmth in the front and less bunching in the back.
I'm always looking for fun ways to use up small amounts of textured handspun yarn and this pattern is suitable for both smooth and textured, handspun and commercial yarn. The fringe is an optional design detail.

preferred Wrap and Turn method. I like the Shadow Wrap technique shown on the
Soctopus website: http://socktopus.co.uk/2011/02/05/short-rows-shadow-wraps/
M1- Use your preferred method
to make 1 stitch. I use a “bar increase”, shown here:
