Xenia

Xenia (the Greek notion of guest friendship) is a textured, striped shawl-cowl hybrid originally created for the {Among Friends} club. Shaped like a semi-circular shawl, but worked partially in the round, Xenia resembles a shawl wrapped around ones neck, but without any ends. The cowl features a slipped stitch stripe pattern that is simple and fun and is striking in stripes and monochrome alike. Taking the equivalent of a single skein of sock yarn, Xenia works up quickly, uses up yarn leftovers beautifully, and adds a great splash of color and texture to an outfit in any season.

The sample is knit with Pigeonroof Studios American Sock 100% Merino, an alternative yarn is shown below.
