Illusion cowl is a quick and interesting project to knit. The main lace stitch looks like crochet stitches. The use of stripes makes it a very fun knit bringing the illusion of granny square stitches.
The yarn I’ve used is West Wool Tandem, a very soft and warm yarn that knits up beautifully and is such a pleasure to keep against my skin.
