This loop cowl is knit in the round in a tube. This cowl begins with a provisional cast on and uses Kitchener Stitch to join for a smooth, invisible finish. The floats are hidden inside so no need to catch them. The line art cowl was inspired by my “Line art socks” design. Both of these designs futures simple and graphic lines that give you the freedom to play with colors and at the same time keep the structural look. Line art cowl is the perfect way to use up your leftover yarn and showcase it. You can knit your cowl as long as you like, and use up a lot of scrap yarn.
