I experimented quite a bit with how I wanted this cowl to look, and when I finished knitting it the title came to me. The colour is purple and a little streaky like the planet Neptune and the yarn overs made me think of little footprints walking across a distant planet. I recommend using a linen yarn or anything else summery and light such as cotton or bamboo.

I used the Gypsy colourway (3595).

To make the pattern larger or smaller you can subtract or add a pattern repeat.

To make the size in the pattern you’ll need a small amount of yarn from a second skein.
