The Mirage Herringbone Cowl blends simplicity with striking visual intrigue. This mosaic-knit cowl is worked side to side, then seamed at the back for a clean finish. Its classic herringbone pattern gets an unexpected twist as the colors reverse at the center, creating a stunning optical illusion. The interplay of light and dark shades draws the eye, giving the illusion of depth and movement. The cowl is extra-long, so it can be worn tucked in to look like a double knitted
neck or loosely draped as a traditional cowl.

This is a great two skein project, perfect for knitters looking for a project that is both meditative and bold, this cowl adds sophistication to any outfit. Choose your favorite contrasting colors to make the mirage come to life!
