In geometry, tiling a plane means to cover a two-dimensional area with the same shape or shapes without any gaps or overlap. Born out of a desire to practice Ladder Back Jacquard method for creating a stretchy colorwork accessory with extra long floats, this cowl will keep you practicing those ladders throughout the entire pattern. Constructed in the round, you’ll have a clean, elegant, and warm neck accessory in no time! And it’s actually three patterns in one: tile your neck with cubes, hexagons, or triangles and show off your geometric style! Photo/video tutorials included.
