This cowl is knit in the round and uses a unique slipped stitch pattern to create a woven look to the finished fabric. The word vefa means “to weave” in Old Norse, and is a root for the word weft, which is used today to describe the horizontal yarns that make up woven materials. This stitch creates a fabric that is almost double-layered, and incredibly warm to wind.

The finished cowl is roughly 60” in a loop and wraps twice or three times. It is knit in colorway Baltic Ocean, from Zen Yarn Garden, and is available kitted up from their website.
