I often find myself mezmerized by the use of pattern and color. This cowl holds me “spellbound” as the textured design seems to wander endlessly through a wave of gradating color.

It has been worked as a tube in the round. This means that there are no seams to finish or long stranded floats that might easily snag when worn. The tube makes it cushy, cuddly and warm! I’ve used mosiac knitting techniques which also mean that this complex appearing design can be worked easily using only one color at a time!

To keep the finishing seamless, I’ve included a provisional cast on and instructions for a 2 color textured Kitchener stitch at the end to keep the pattern travelling endlessly around the cowl.

I hope this project leaves you Spellbound too!
