I have been playing a bit more with the construction of ‘something’ (hat and cowl) and came up with this: pasOdoble and pasOsolo. It’s special construction to build the swirl at the end is easy and very simple to do.

pasOdoble is a symmetrical shawl with swirls on both ends.
pasOsolo is assymetrical with a round swirl on one end and a point on the other.

They are worked back and forth, but also kind of in the round in 1 piece and completely seamless.
And another good news is : there is absolutely no purling to do.

It’s best to know to use a circular needle with a minimum length of 80 cm / 31.5” and magic loop (schematics are included if you don’t know how to work magic loop).

What you’ll need
