Variance
Variance is knit in the round with either fingering weight or worsted weight yarn; for a light and drapey or thick and cozy cowl, whichever you prefer. It features garter stitch triangles decreasing into a stockinette background, or are they stockinette triangles emerging from a backdrop of garter stitch? Opinions may vary.
