DETAILS
This cozy knitted cowl is crafted using garter stitch and Fisherman’s Rib with I-cord edging. The piece is worked flat, then twisted one half turn and seamed together. You can choose to omit the twist for a simpler look. Made by holding two fingering weight yarns together, you can opt for a subtle blend or high contrast colors, giving you the freedom to customize the piece to your liking.
