The Comet Trails Cowl features different cables of different colours on each side of the fabric. The innovative construction shows the reversibility of the fabric and can be styled in many ways!

Fission Knitting is a reversible knitting technique where two yarns are worked in a marl. It creates a super squishy fabric with different raised colourwork cables on each side of the fabric.

This pattern is designed so you will practice each Fission Knitting stitch before moving on to the next. But you won’t have to wait – you will see the reversible magic start to happen within the first few rows! Please see the Yarniverse information below for a full workshop on the working this pattern.

This Comet Trails Cowl is worked with two fingering weight yarns. Look for yarns that are smooth (not textured) with a good twist. Solid/tonal colours are preferred.
