This asymmetrical, colorful cowl is like jewelry.
It is a little piece of personal adornment, adding a unique sense of style to an everyday accessory. It is fun to make and wear. You first knit a panel with one color, then knit the subsequent panels in alternating colors and connect to the previous panel as you go. The method of joining makes a cable-like texture and adds great character to the cowl.
