Knitting the Honey Cowl designed by Antonia Shankland

A friend's birthday is coming up so I thought I would knit up a cowl to give her.  I like knitting the Honey Cowl.  It's sort of mindless knitting, but not really boring.  Both sides have an interesting look to it even though there is a right and wrong side.  The right side resembles a honeycomb.

You can clearly see my inconsistent knitting.  I call it, "Giving the finished item character."

Here's the wrong side.



I used a knitted cast on which had a good amount of stretch to it and once again used Jenny's Surprisingly Stretchy bind off.  I absolutely love how this bind off looks and of course it is stretchy.

I hope she likes it.
