Worn doubled, this piece takes on the loft and volume of the luxurious cowl you’ve always wanted. When unstretched, the pattern resembles ribbing, but when stretched across the shoulders, the honeycomb design is revealed. Featuring a twisted stitch pattern that’s easy to master and remember, this cowl is a perfect project for travel or TV knitting.
