Slipping stitches is one of the easiest tricks for changing the texture of stockinette fabric. In the Henning Cowl, the interplay of stripes and contrasting strands gives you an intriguing fabric on both sides. This is great chance to play with color; I love the greens in this one, but can easily see it in pale neutrals or intense brights.
