Tortoise Cowl

This cowl is worked in the round using a beautifully soft double knitting yarn. It features a geometric design inspired by a traditional Japanese pattern called Kikkou, which is based on the hexagonal shapes of a tortoiseshell.

The cowl is sized to fit most teens/adults, although the size can be easily adjusted. The pattern includes instructions for knitting the cowl in 4ply weight yarn, as well as modifying the height and width.
