The Spellbinding Cowl is a variation of Spellbound, an infinity scarf. The stitch pattern is the same, however it is knit in the round versus knit flat.

I was inspired by Artyarns Cashmere Eco. Iris’ dyeing is spectacular and cashmere is, well, cashmere and deliciously soft.

Spellbinding incorporates increases and decreases to create the wavy lines.

This is an intermediate brioche project.
