This graphic cowl features a stranded fair-isle knitting motif. It is worked from the bottom up in the round, then the cast on edge is grafted closed with the working edge for a totally seamless finish. Instructions are provided for both a squishy snug shorter cowl and a narrower infinity scarf style version (shown). Colorwork is charted and the pattern is suitable for intermediate level knitters comfortable with two-color stranding of longer floats. Check out the brand new Lovebirds Sweater pullover, a yoked design featuring a sequence of Lovebirds colorwork based on this one.
