I wanted to play with fibonacci numbers and create a cowl in which the dominant color could change, dependent on how it is worn. The plan was for a mirror image -- the Echo. But, I did a bit of revising as I knit it. My friends insisted they liked it better this way, so this pattern actually has two designs--A Choice (where the stripes are a bit different on the second half) and An Echo (where the second side is a relection of the first). Knitter’s Choice!

Size after blocking = 80” x 6” (For a shorter cowl, cast on fewer stitches.)

The pattern uses 2 colors of fingering weight yarn -- approximately 300 yards of each or 350 yards of one of the colors if you knit both borders with the same color.
