The bold, graphic design of this cowl is inspired by Art Deco patterns and uses slipped stitches to create a two-color pattern while working with one color at a time. This unusually-shaped cowl features buttons so it can be worn draped like a scarf or double looped and fastened around the neck for extra warmth. The wide, v-shaped bottom ensures good coverage without added bulk.

The colorwork in this pattern is charted only.
