Crystal Cowl
Crystal Cowl is a beautiful and spectacular model that will bring a playful touch to your autumn and winter wardrobe. The geometric motifs, resembling crystals, are very nicely balanced by the gently textured half of the cowl. This combination will both challenge and entertain you in the knitting process. The model allows for amazing color combinations. If you are looking for a modern and challenging look, the high contrast of colors will contribute to this. If you prefer a classic look, you can choose more neutral shades.
The cowl is knitted as a long tube, twisted to become a moebius, and the ends are then grafted using Kitchener stitch to create a seamless finish, so there’s no wrong side or seam to conceal.
A great addition to Crystal Cowl can be the Crystal Mittens, which has the same geometric motifs.
