Notes from the Designer:

Designed as a companion piece to the Accretion shawl, the Countercurrent Cloche uses the same stitch patterns with leftover yarn from the same set of yarn colors. Worked in the round from the center outward, the stitches slowly swirl and undulate like a gentle eddy.

• Gauge is not crucial to this project, but it will affect yardage and overall size.
• This pattern uses three colors, but it can be made with more or fewer if you prefer.
• Carry unused colors up the wrong side of your work, twisting yarn as needed to secure floats at each color change.
• Use a removable stitch marker to indicate the end of a round, and move the stitch marker as you work each round.
• Designed to use the leftover yardage from skeins B-D of our Accretion shawl.
