The Linen Hearts pattern includes a detailed explanation of the stitch pattern itself, including written instructions, a chart and a photo tutorial. You can use these instructions for any rectangular project (blankets, scarves, etc.).
In addition to the stitch instructions, the pattern features two cowl designs worked in two different yarn weights (worsted and sport/DK):
in the original stitch pattern (light blue cowl)
and in a modified version, where the colors alternate to create a slightly different visual rhythm (orange cowl).
