Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.
—Yoda, Jedi Master

This might be my favorite quote from among Yoda’s pearls of wisdom.

This cowl includes both horizontal and vertical stripes, some intersecting, all supporting each other. The vertical stripes are created through a special slipped stitch technique that keeps the knitting simple yet interesting. Colors move through this cowl, as the Force moves through all of us.

Each of us has our favorite movies, books, and shows. Fortunately we can generally find yarn in colorways that represent those stories!

Maybe the colorways you pick will represent your favorite fandom, or perhaps you simply think they’re luminous… As are we.

This pattern includes written instructions, as well as video tutorial support. This pattern has been tech edited and test knit.

This pattern is accessible to adventurous beginners as well as to more experienced knitters wanting to explore an uncommon technique.
