Herringbone Hexagonal Cowl

The Herringbone Hexagonal Cowl begins with a center out square of Quaker Welt Stitch worked flat. The two sides around the buttonhole are bound off, then the cowl is finished with Rib and welt Diagonals worked on the bias. The buttonhole is closed with two seams and the cowl is secured with a button, this gives the buttonhole flexibility in case there is a truly huge button waiting for center stage.

I’ve written the instructions for (fingering, sport, dk) weight yarns, as if they were sizes, for ease of substitutions. (105, 175, 200) yards, (96, 160, 182) m of (Fingering, Sport, DK) yarn is needed.
