The Spiriferous Cowl – named for its spiral construction – takes striping to a new level and then adds a whimsical bobble edging. The fun-to-make pattern may easily be adjusted to create a wider/narrower or shorter/taller cowl.

The cowl is made in the same stitch pattern as my Spiriferous hat. Both designs are intermediate-ish skill level, and they include a photo tutorial on working in a spiral with color changes.
