Alhambra is a reversible cowl that offers double the beauty. Its mirrored pattern looks the same on both sides, making it the kind of project that always sits just right, no matter how you wear it. The unique double knitting technique creates a fabric that’s soft, warm, and visually striking.

We’ll work this cowl in the round from the bottom up, finishing with a neat bind-off edge. Let’s walk through the details so you feel confident before casting on.
