Heximaze

During my recent visit to my grandmother, I discovered a beautifully crafted wooden box adorned with a brass medallion, which led me to learn that my grandfather had purchased it while serving in Vietnam in the 1970s. This captivating object sparked my imagination, and I've always had a desire to explore the art of double knitting. This inspiration culminated in the creation of the Heximaze Cowl, a stunning knitting project that blends history with contemporary design.

The Heximaze Cowl begins with an invisible cast on technique using two contrasting colors, setting the stage for a striking visual effect. Throughout the project, you'll use double knitting in the round to craft a truly reversible (mirror-image) main body that showcases your chosen colors beautifully. To finish this elegant piece, employ the Kitchener stitch technique for a seamless, smooth finish that enhances the overall aesthetic of the cowl. The sample is knit using a luxurious cashmere blend yarn, which not only highlights the intricate colorwork but also offers a delicate halo that adds to its charm. The unique combination of the yarn's softness and the double-thickness fabric results in a wonderfully squishy and warm accessory that is perfect for braving cold, windy weather.

This Heximaze Cowl knitting pattern is ideal for those looking to refine their double knitting skills while creating a beautiful, functional piece of wearable art. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this pattern will guide you through each step, all while celebrating the rich stories and inspirations that make knitting a cherished craft. Embrace your creativity and warmth with the Heximaze Cowl—perfect for gifting or keeping for yourself during chilly days.
