In this piece, Tunisian crochet stitches are manipulated to move across the fabric like crevasses rippling along a mountain glacier. This cowl is worked as a simple rectangle, allowing you to focus your attention on the stitches at hand. The split edge of the cowl is shaped entirely by the seam placement.
