Hanki is a simple cowl knitted in chunky yarn. It reminded Jonna Hietala of the cold winters in her childhood. The high collar keeps your neck warm and the front piece keeps the chill off your chest. This unisex cowl is knitted in garter stitch, first flat and then in the round. Hanki works equally well with a quilted jacket or a sharp blazer. It is the perfect pattern for a beginner.
