The inspiration for this cowl was sparked by an architectural photo that showed patterns in vibrant sunburst colors. This sparked a textured knitting pattern with color bursts evoking a sunburst.

The Cowl is worked in a Cable Stitch Pattern as 8 bands, mostly in one color and these one color sections are worked in knit and purl stitches. The designer has also tried an unusual 2-color combination with CC1 and CC2 and reversed them as shorter length bands that are worked only in stockinette stitch that makes it very interesting.
