While browsing through a knitting stitch dictionary, I ran into this stitch. I found it fascinating, easy, interesting, and intricate looking without it being so. It called out to me and had to become something! I kind of refer to it as the sister to the 'Offset Cowl', which is similar in many ways. Gauge is not extremely important, it would work out beautifully in other weights of yarn as long as you're getting a fabric you like. It's very easy to adjust length by knitting a longer or shorter project before casting off. Enjoy!
The short version pictured is using a DK weight superwash yarn in a OOAK colorway I dyed quite some time ago called 'Purblue'. This was a little thicker than the red yarn, all thought both are a DK weight. Dimensions after blocking and seaming: 12" x 8"
The long versions is made using Cherry Tree Hill Yarn Supersock DK Selects in the 'Very Berry' colorway. Dimensions after blocking and seaming: 20" x 7.5"
