The Pinnacle Valley Cowl is a great introduction to Fusion Knitting, a reversible knitting technique that creates a mirrored motif on each side of the fabric. Creating the peaks and valleys on this cowl are great practice of the two most common cables used in Fusion Knitting!

This cowl is adjustable in circumference and height. It can be worked in any weight of yarn. Take a look at the test knitters’ projects that use a variety of yarn weights.
Alternatives: Use 1 skein each of 2 colours in Sport, DK, or Worsted weight yarn. Use needles appropriate to the yarn. Cast on 3-4 repeats for a quick, super squishy knit.
Smooth yarns in solid/tonal colours are recommended.
