Inspired by the ancient Japanese capital, this cowl is provisionally cast on and knit in a combination of cables, lace, mosaic, stranded, and tuck stitches (think: the songs on your favorite mixtape) in an early ’80s neutral palette, before the ends are grafted together.

Long cowl worked in one long strip with four different stitch patterns, then ends are joined with Kitchener stitch in finishing.

Colors used are pomegranate (A), cranberry (B), oleaster (C), black grape (D)
