A long cowl that loops around the neck twice. Narrow Stockinette stitch rolls naturally creating a knitted rope. Two small sections of braided cables create interest in this very simple piece. Super bulky yarn makes for a very fast knit that can be accomplished in just one sitting, the perfect project for gift knitting.
