The cowl is worked in the round from the bottom up, starting with a twisted rib hem. The twisted ribbing flows into parallel lines of twisted stitches that frame diamonds of stockinette, and the cowl is finished with a twisted rib hem at the top.

The diamond motif section can be worked from chart or written instructions.

The Diamond cowl was first featured in Knit Now Magazine, Issue 99, February 2019.
