When striping doesn’t feel like striping, Golden Hour emerges. Alternating contrasting colors with forward and return passes breaks up the striping from solid blocks to mingled hints. Choose your colors to blend or be high contrast for a striking statement piece.

This kerchief cowl is worked from the point up flat to the desired circumference. It’s then joined in the round from the WS to finish off the cowl neck, which is then folded to reveal the cowl-neck pattern.
