A Little About the Design
The Square Basket Cowl is a quick and satisfying one-skein project that combines simple knit and purl stitches to create a beautifully textured basketweave design.
Alternating sections of basketweave and small squares create a lovely geometric pattern, while ribbed edges provide a neat finish. Knit in worsted-weight yarn, this cozy cowl is an enjoyable project for a relaxing weekend or a thoughtful handmade gift.
Symmetry, geometry, and texture come together for a fast and fabulous result!
One Cowl, Two Beautiful Colours
The Square Basket Cowl is shown here in two shades of Malabrigo Rios, a soft, worsted-weight superwash merino wool.
The original sample was knit in Pearl, a gentle lavender-grey that gives the textured stitches a soft, understated look. The second sample, knit in Denim, brings a richer blue tone to the same geometric design.
Two different colours, each highlighting the beautiful texture of the Square Basket Cowl in its own way.
