Nest Cowl

Nest is a graceful, delicate loop cowl worked sideways. It begins with a provisional cast-on and the ends are joined with 3-needle cast-off to give a seamless finish. You can easily customise the cowl depth by adding/subtracting a multiple of 20 sts to the cast-on. You can also knit a scarf version just replacing the provisional cast-on and the 3-needle cast-off with your favourite cast-on and cast-off methods.
