Inkilad takes you into all the fun with different colorwork techniques! You will start with a provisional cast on for the mosaic knitting part, then work a few rounds of stranded colorwork and finish with a diamond lattice pattern. After working all the rounds, the cowl is twisted once to achieve a moebius look and then grafted together using the Kitchener stitch.

Inkilad is Swedish for wedged; thinking about the wedged change between the two sections of this cowl.
