The pattern is big herringbone cowl by the purl bee in knit pick's comfy worsted blackberry. This was one of the most enjoyable projects I have done in a while. The yarn is soft and has a wonderful stitch definition and drape. And the pattern... I am in love with the construction of this pattern. It is entirely unique. Using worsted weight yarn, the fabric comes together with overlaps of draping stitches from large needles, creating a beautiful woven effect.
Using beta from fellow knitters, I purchased an interchangeable needle set so I could use 13s on the left and 17s on the right. This really helped to make the pattern construction less frustrating, and instead was a pure delight to knit as a commissioned project for my friend. Details here. If you are looking for a project with wonderful structure and thoughtful construction, please consider this. I will absolutely be knitting this one again.
