Gradient yarns shine in this striking cowl. Worked in the round, two balls of the same colorway are alternated to create opposing yet harmonious color shifts. Reverse single crochet creates a subtle ridge texture, with alternating rounds in plain double crochet—the perfect combination to highlight a beautiful yarn.

NOTES

• Cowl is worked in joined rounds. Do not turn unless otherwise stated.

• Alternate balls of yarn for each round following Round 1. For maximum effect, start each ball at a different point in the yarn’s color gradient if at all possible.

• To change yarn balls, work to last yarnover with current ball, yarn over with new yarn ball and complete stitch. Carry unused yarn up wrong side (WS) of fabric.
