Honeycomb Conjecture Cowl

The Honeycomb Conjecture Collections includes a cowl, scarf, blanket & wrap.

New to Fusion Knitting? The Honeycomb Conjecture Cowl is the place to start! It can be knit in any weight of yarn and made to any size. Look at pictures to see how the weight of the yarn completely transforms its character of the cowl. Make a little one to try out the technique & you'll be ready to knit any piece in this collection.

Knit in a fingering weight yarn (Koigu KPM), your intricate-looking cowl will add sophication to any outfit. Or throw on a bulky version (Koigu Othello) for an on trend day out. Or stash dive any two yarns of the same weight in contrasting colours -- you'll love adding this cowl to your wardrobe.

Modified Fusion Knitting is a reversible technique that places mirrored designs on both sides of the fabric. It is accessible to anyone comfortable with cabling. This pattern looks similar to the Reversible Honeycomb Cowl that I designed years ago but it is much easier to knit.

Both Koigu KPM and Othello are multi-ply yarns whose tight twist and round yarn construction make knitting a delight and fabric incredibly squeezable!
