Destination Unknown Cowl is a top down, bandana style cowl. Its captivating herringbone stitch pattern is deceptively simple to create using the mosaic knitting technique, working with just one color per row. You’ll begin knitting flat with an I-cord tab cast on. After working multiple pattern repeats flat, you’ll join the ends and begin knitting in the round. This construction method requires no seeming.
The slow and dramatic color changes of Spincycle’s Dream State capture the essence behind my design inspiration perfectly. Be prepared to experience a delightful surprise as you knit each row/round.
