Inspired by the season's geometric motifs, the Geometry Study Cowl is as fun to knit as it is to wear. The stitch patterns are easy to memorize and , because they only involve knits and purls, they're completely reversible. Seeing the shapes develop will keep you knitting and make this a quick project. work it in two tones or mix and match your favorite colors in your stash. Please send me any questions about the pattern to sdurank@gmail.com or send me message through Ravelry. Happy knitting!
