It is named after Miura-ori, a folding method of origami tessellations. A trick to one’s eye, architectural and flexible, yet simple as this negative and positive spacing is created by angled texture of basic stitches. This cowl is the best way to bring up interest to any neckline when other scarves are just not enough.
Experiment with colors and various weights of yarn. Final measurements can change as a result, please take time to check gauge. Remember to use a needle size smaller than your yarn label recommends to make the final texture result more expressed.
