Inspired by Shetland Hap shawls, this beautiful cowl is worked flat with yarn overs being made on one side to create shaping. Decreases are made on the second half to mirror the shaping and then the two ends are seamed together. It features mosaic (slip-stitch) knitting on a garter stitch background.

When using shades close in value for the contrast colors, the simple mosaic design creates a gradient effect reminiscent of Sashiko patterns, highlighting the beauty of Shetland yarn held with a Japanese milled yarn.

1 ball of Biches & Bûches Petit Lambswool (270 yds. 100% lambswool)
