A celestial specter drifts through the cosmos, caught between the stars and the void. Inspired by the haunting beauty of Cassiopeia, this stranded colorwork cowl captures the ethereal glow of the nebula that shares her name.

This pattern is designed for somewhat experienced knitters comfortable with long floats or advanced colorwork techniques. The design is fully charted and can be worked using either stranded knitting or ladder-back jacquard for a smooth fabric.

• Techniques: Stranded colorwork (with long floats) or ladder-back jacquard
• Construction: Worked in the round
• Skill Level: Advanced (not beginner-friendly due to complex floats)
