Honeycomb Cowl w/ video

This is a very simple double knit pattern knit on the ‘Rotating’ Double Knit Loom.  Pattern is worked over 60 rounds in rib stitch, alternating the rib stitch every 5 rounds.

Designed by Amanda Pratt

LOOM:  ‘Rotating’ Double Knit Loom with 60 Peg Loom Topper

YARN:  Sample knit with Premier Candy Shop yarn,  1 skein, 100% acrylic. Use #4 or #5 yarn, approx 250-300 yds.

NOTIONS:  crochet hook, tensioner, row counter (optional).

Note: Amanda’s Honeycomb Stitch uses the rib stitch, wrapping in a figure 8 method,  which is different from rib stitch taught by KB. Work with manner you feel most comfortable. Rib stitch video of both methods are included. The stitch pattern used in the pattern is also known as ‘Honeycomb’.
