A basic yet soft and luscious cowl, quick and effortless to knit.

Completely unisex, this cowl use a fair amount of Worsted yarn, but the stylish finish can be applied to any yarn at hand, being careful to cast on enough stitches to let the cowl be worn over the head.

The Fibonacci sequence (see note on page 3) is applied in a symmetric way, resulting in a garment with no up or down.

It is the perfect quick TV knit and it will satisfy everybody, as a gift or as a practical wardrobe essential.
