This twisted cowl is knit flat, then seamed into a spiraling tube. It’s lightweight and airy, but long enough to slouch down into a substantial cowl. The twisted construction allows each color and texture to be seen when worn. There is a photo tutorial to help guide you with the seaming in the pattern.
