Cowl is knit in a fabulous six row pattern that creates a lovely fabric which drapes wonderfully. This six row pattern creates a twisted stitch that swirls up the design. I enjoyed developing it and seeing how perfect it was for this cowl and a couple of hats I designed. Cowl is long enough to drape singly or double around the neck. Choose a yarn that will produce great drape. The Anzula Cricket is perfect.
