Funky Frank is a super quick, very warm loop worked flat in two pieces joined together by two small seams.
The central panel is worked first, in a purl free slipped stitch pattern; the loop is then worked separately in twisted cables pattern (without cable needle!).

The cowl is designed to create a double loop around the neck, but it can be easily adapted in length by adding/subtracting how many chart repeats you like!

You can wear the cowl by folding in half the central panel or as a double loop holding in place with buttons.
As well you could make a scarf version simply skipping the central panel section and working chart repeats only to desired length.

Cable pattern available in both written and charted directions.
