Hawick is the perfect cowl for keeping winter winds at bay!
With a easy slip stitch pattern it’s great for beginners and a go-to for gift knitting.

The tweedlike texture that is created by the slip stitch technique is the also the inspiration behind the name, as Hawick (pronounced Hoyk) is a town in Scotland where tweed was invented.

This design uses Orkney Angora bespoke colours exclusively dyed for Loop, London!

Do not break the yarn after each colour change! Carry the yarns loosely up the inside bringing the new working yarn under the other two yarns when you change colours.
