Embodying chic desert summers and the elegant bounce of csc stitches, this is the pattern for my Illumination Cowl. The design is a crochet colorwork cowl inspired by the strong contrast of light and dark, intricately carved calabash lampshades, and graphic African beadwork. The endless high contrast color combinations you can choose will make beautifully crisp line work to define these hexagon and cross motifs. It’s the perfect project for transitional seasons, evenings with a chill in the air, or a breezy shoreside walk!
