This gorgeous statement cowl will always hang just right, due to its double-tubular construction. There is no wrong side, and it will keep you snuggly warm when the weather gets cold with its double-layered fabric. Purposefully visible whip-stitch seams add to the beautiful patchwork effect.

Cleverly constructed, this cowl begins with 40 Granny squares. Arranged following the diagram, the squares are initially whip-stitched together with zigzag seams and then blocked flat. After blocking, the cowl is stitched into a long tube, then the short ends of the tube are butted together and whip-stitched to form a hollow, donut-shaped piece.
