This seamless cowl uses two contrasting yarns and simple slipped stitches to create a flowing diagonal chevron design that matches the companion hat. Yarns are changed every two rounds, so no intarsia or stranded colorwork is required. The result has the appearance of advanced color techniques while remaining straightforward to knit. Worked in the round, it is an accessible project with striking visual impact.
