CONSTRUCTION
Double layered Fluxa is knitted as a tube, in the round. It starts with a provisional cast on, after which the upper inside is worked. The wave pattern on the outside is achieved by working German short rows. The welt, that is worked at the bottom edge, has both a decorative and a constructive function, aiding the shape of the cowl. After the welt, the lower inside of the cowl is worked. Once the inside and outside of the cowl are identical in height, the stitches of the provisional cast on are grafted together with the cowl stitches.
