Kaipuu is a cowl with an appearance of a triangular shawl. It’s knit as a flat rectangle and seamed together with one short seam. Kaipuu combines honeycomb stitch with a simple lace and bobble pattern, and the way these fabrics naturally behave works well with the shape of the cowl. There is a bit of lacework on the purlside, too, but it’s nothing you can’t handle. The lace pattern is both charted and written in the English version.
