Vector was inspired by my Mountain Vector shawl. The shawl was so fun to make; I wanted to create a fun new version. Vector is a tube cowl created using only two contrasting hanks of fingering weight yarn that slowly fade from one color to the next and back again. The benefit of the tube construction is the entire cowl is knit in the round and all the floats will be hidden.
