This unique cowl is actually worked inside out. Worked in your choice of either fingering weight “Queen of Hearts” or sport weight “Mad Hatter”, the hexagon design appears on the “wrong side” as you work the “right side”. After 1-2 pattern repeats you’re bound to have the pattern memorized. I highly recommend a kettle dyed or variegated yarn for this project. It will show off the colorway beautifully.
