Arrowverse Cowl
Inside the Designer’s Mind
Arrowverse cowl is a highly texturized unisex cowl, the interesting fabric is created by combining with a central arrow-like cable pattern and a braided cable pattern at each side of the work. The length of the cowl gives it the versatility that an accessory need, you can either let it hang on your neck as a statement piece or wear it looped twice so that it shields you against the chilly weather and keeps your neck warm.
It starts by doing a provisional cast-on (crochet method), knitted flat and graft the two ends together using Kitchener stitch, creating a seamless fabric and at the same time maintaining the continuity of the cable pattern. Both cable chart and written instructions are provided.
