Serpens is a circular cowl, knit in the round with two sizing options- short (fits close to the neck) and long (hangs below the bust and can be doubled over to fit closer to the neck). Worked in two contrasting colors, Serpens uses mosaic style knitting- a strategic method of slipping stitches that creates a complex-looking pattern while only knitting with one color at a time.
