Tectum - means a cover or shield -it is also the word for cell as in the cells of the honeycomb.
This snuggly warm cowl is made from only one skein of yarn and some basic lace stitches (see below for stitches used list). Fully reversible with amazingly cool textures on both sides, I like to fold mine so both sides show at once : ) Beautiful and with the ‘anywhere buttons (directions for them included in pattern) it is extremely versatile as well. Can also be made as a full length scarf just use more yarn and continue stitch pattern to desired length!
I am happy to provide free pattern support with all PDf orders.
