This cozy cowl shows off its beautiful gradient yarn with an interesting stitch pattern that is deceptively simple to work.
The design features basic garter stitch borders and an all-over cabled stitch pattern that was inspired by the “Crossed Loops” motif from KnittingStitchPatterns.com. The cowl’s flattering tapered shape is achieved by changing needle sizes while working, so there are no decreases to disrupt the slip stitch cables. However, it would be very easy to use one needle size throughout the project to make a straight cylindrical cowl instead. Either way, this fun design is a perfect canvas to let your favorite gradient yarns shine!
