This cowl consists of 3 sections, starting at the neck. It can be done in 3 colors, or you can toggle between 2. Or you can knit an abbreviated cowl with 2 colors. It starts flat, then connects in the round once the neck circumference is achieved. Garter rows simulate ‘graviton waves’, with 8-stitch diamonds peppered into the mix. A possible stash buster? This is the cowl version of the Graviton Fade shawl.

This can be done in Fingering weight to DK weight.
Suggested needles: US 4 / 3.5 mm for Fingering and Sport weight
