The Pi Cowl is a textured, single skein cowl knit on the bias.

When you have that special skein of
variegated yarn that speaks to your heart,
you want a project that will do it justice, where the colors mix in just the right way. A project that makes your heart sing while knitting, taking time to savor the changing colors as they interact.

The Pi Cowl is our tribute to those special, hand-dyed
variegated yarns.

The stitch pattern forms a shape reminiscent of the Greek letter pi - hence the name, the Pi Cowl!

Since the ends can be woven into the icord edging, the Pi Cowl is fully reversible, showcasing either the right side or the wrong side of the fabric!

Designed to work with Shakti, the gauge and stitch count are specifically calculated to give the most mixed effect of the colors.
We suggest our transitional colorways available on our website:
