This is. Gruggle, a twisted stitch cowl. I used Kate Davies new yarn "Ooskita" in Dorman and had to break open another skien in the color Riach, because I ran out. I also increased the needle size twice, instead of once, so it would be a bit more open on my shoulders.
This was a fun, and should have been a quick knit, but I kept messing up the twisted stitches.
The yarn reminds me a lot of the fleece & harmony yarn.
