This is a warm and fuzzy möbius cowl that is worked in a basketweave stitch. Basketweave looks woven, and you can alter it so that it looks like it has been woven with larger or smaller warps and wefts. The basketweave stitch looks fancy but it’s really easy once you figure out the front-post double crochet and back-post double crochet stitches.
