Basic Information:
Purliness Cowl blends simple stitches with texture, built on an easy sequence pattern that creates a plush, dimensional fabric. A coordinating line of surface crochet adds a playful highlight, finished with a tassel or two for charm.

As the next step in the Sequence Series, this cowl is worked flat for a relaxing knit, seamed, and then topped with surface crochet applied directly over the join for a clean, sculptural 3D effect. The pattern has been tech edited.
