I am still in awe of two rows of Lateral Braid and have designed two Cowls combining it with the Honey Comb and Cocoon stitches. Worked flat from bottom to top, the Cowls are knit using a lighter and darker shade of the same color to contrast the textured effect and Lateral Braids. The two patterns can also be worked together as bands to make a taller cowl. The ends of the Cowl are grafted together using the Kitchener stitch.
