Versatile Spiral Cowl
This is a simple project created with knit and purl stitches -- an easy stretch for beginners, but also meditatively satisfying for more advanced knitters. The shaping is minimal, based around strategically adding the heavier yarn for the last few inches and using a stretchy bind-off.
This piece, living up to its name, can be worn in a number of ways. Wrap it twice around your neck for a snuggly warm cowl, pull it up over your head for an elegantly stylish hood, let it dangle down infinity-scarf style, or pull it down over your shoulders for a light layer of warmth on cool evenings. (Inspired by Loop London’s Cecilia Cowl)
