Eye-catching elongated stitches, worked into cable crossings, adorn this cowl like rows of delicate flowers. The cabled petals float on top of the colour gradation of the yarn, providing a pleasing texture. Rolled edges with a gentle 2x2 Rib create symmetry and make this neckwarmer easy to wear.

Worked in the round, the stockinette, rib, and cable cross patterning create visual interest, particularly striking in a color-gradient yarn. Elongated stitches are worked with extra wraps around the needle. When dropped, the lengthened loop crosses over stitches and rows to create the petals and extend the color. Options are provided for depth and circumference to make best use of yardage.

Stitch pattern is written and charted.
