Savoy Knot Wrap - or oversized cowl

Chart reading skills highly recommended but written line by line (abbreviated) instructions are included.

Large bottom up rectangle, with offset knot-work columns and ribs. Optionally edged with single crochet of coordinating or contrasting color.

If substituting yarn: Rasta and Ushya are extra super bulky yarns at 2 to 3 WPI (wraps per inch)

I do highly recommend using the Rasta as the main yarn. It is pricey but absolutely worth every penny.
