This pattern includes instructions for both a single-sided AND a infinity cowl.

The Tessellate Cowl uses geometric colorwork charts to create a visually pleasing repeat that makes for a great first colorwork project!

The single sided version is bordered with twisted ribbing along the top and bottom for a clean edge, while the infinity version is seamlessly joined in the round (with or without a twist) for an easy to style cowl.

Flexibility allows knitters to pick between single sided or infinity style, four sizes, and various modifications, so you can knit this pattern again and again!

Bonus: Charts provided in standard and inverted allow for playing with variations like checkerboard contrasts or half-and-half tones. Check out test knitter projects for ideas!
