This cowl was inspired by an ancient, cotton, Egyptian sock knit on two needles some time between 1100 AD-1300 AD. Isn’t it amazing to think we’re gracing our knitting with the same sort of designs centuries later?

This is a snug-fitting, neck-gaiter, style of cowl. If you want more of a draping, loose, fit, you can easily do so by adding stitches in increments of 12. Please be aware you will need more yarn if you do this.
