The textures and colorwork in this cowl are striking to look at but surprisingly simple to achieve. The Latvian braid at the bottom is simply purl stitches in alternating colors with the floats carefully managed on the front of the work. The twisted texture in the body of the cowl is just a 4-stitch repeat that is made to be offset by adding an extra stitch to the first round. Worked in a super bulky yarn, this makes a perfect last minute gift for anyone on your list.
