This cowl was knit flat and started from one module. Then rows of modules are built from one another and knit together to create a cowl.
A mitre is the of the potato chip style of knitting - as you just can’t knit one! And modular means few or no seams, each piece is picked up from the module before it.
This is a great technique for using up scraps of yarn.

I was looking for a way to work with hand-dyed yarns to move the colours around differently from traditional row knitting. I was quite pleased with the effect.
