DESCRIPTION
The Kaleidoscope Cowl is a perfect introduction to working interlocking crochet in the round—approachable, rhythmic, and endlessly wearable.

Its seamless infinity-loop construction means no edges or joins interrupt the repeating pattern, allowing the geometric design to flow continuously around your neck. On one side it features crisp columns of raised tiles while on the other, an elegant grid of open rectangles appears. The result is a reversible accessory that’s equal parts cozy and eye-catching.

It’s also the kind of project you can easily take on the go, because it’s simple enough for relaxed stitching, yet engaging enough to keep things interesting. If you fall in love with the pattern, try the matching Kaleidoscope Beanie or the Kaleidoscope Sweater for a coordinated outfit.
