Revised December 2019, using Shibui Lunar + Pebble held together as MC. V2 uses a looser gauge than the original, with a narrower double loop size.

Stripes and texture move this way and that, the yarn flowing through the simple rhythms of the stitch patterns to make a striking, graphic cowl with two layers for extra warmth. Pattern includes instructions for a single and double loop cowl, as well as tips for adjusting the depth and length to suit your taste. Thataway is worked in the round and seamed; the seam is contained in a garter stitch band. You will need to know how to work in the round, with stripes and basic decreases. Photos show the double loop size; model is 5 ft 3 in/160 cm tall.
