Pattern Description:

Super sized and chunky, the Phydeaux Twist Cowl / Shoulder Warmer is a quick knit project with uniquely beautiful stitch pattern. The instructions include two versions: a smaller neckwarmer and a roomier cowl with attached icord edging.

I love accessories with clean, elegant lines and endless flexibility. I need to be able to wear a scarf or cowl with my work day suits or my weekend jeans and tees. And because I work in San Francisco overlooking the Pacific Ocean, I need to keep warm despite chilly wind and fog!

Phydeaux Twist is a cowl that fulfills all of my needs and is fun to knit, to boot. Keeps you cozy warm all winter long, but you could also work in a cotton/wool blend for late spring through early autumn wear.
