There is an old saying no pressure, no diamonds. Well, we beg to differ. This cowl is completely pressure free. Not much counting, no tricky stitches, no lace, or bobbles, or cables. Just lots of rows of fun no-pressure garter stitch that knits up into charming diamonds to give this cowl multiple ways to fashion it. So relax and no pressure!

This easy to remember reversible cowl flies off the needles with ingenious German short rows.

This pattern works best for yarns that have long runs of colors (skeins dyed in halves, thirds, or quarters) so that you get a good striping effect. Highly variegated yarns may not show the distinct striping. Solid and tonals will give you good texture and shape.
