I really enjoyed test knitting this cowl design for Ella. I love the design and how it’s continuous in all directions. The clever mobius strip like nature really makes it more interesting. I found the colourwork, grafting and duplicate stitch just difficult enough to keep me interested. The adjustments for the corners of the squares melt my mind a bit but it is worth persevering.

The yarn is simply a treat to work with. So soft. It’s much more green than it looks in the pictures and the subtle variation is great.

I thought I had nice and loose tension but compared with the other test knitters I was at least a stitch out per 10cm. My version has come out quite small and just fits so take care with your tension.
