This pattern is available for free with purchase of the required yarn at your LYS or at shibuiknits.com.

Watch the playful line and dot pattern emerge. Graphic, modern and oh so fun to knit.

NOTES: The cowl starts with a Provisional Cast On and stitches are then joined to be worked in the round. A bobble stitch pattern is used for the main fabric, followed by a contrast stockinette fabric, creating a tube. Once the tube reaches the intended length, the fabric is folded in half, bringing the contrast color to the inside, and the two ends are grafted together.
