Winter Cowl by Stana D. Sortor

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry(goes to new website)(opens in a new tab).  

A great 3D appeal of the honeycomb pattern is enlarged to pop out even in the fingering weight yarn.

This cowl is worked in the round. Both edges are done in I-cord. Either start with an I-cord CO, or use a provisional CO of your choice, later take out the provisional CO and replace it with the I-cord BO. Sometimes the I-cord CO creates a slightly different look to it then the I-cord BO, especially if you are a newbie to the I-cord CO technique.

An increase round at the beginning of your work and a decrease round at the end will prevent from flaring out due to the cable pattern in the body. The body is worked in a cable pattern, then the cowl is finished off with the I-cord BO.
