What starts as a top-down triangular shawl doesn’t always have to end up being triangular, nor a shawl. This pattern turns it into a cowl!
Starting with an i-cord tab cast on, knit a stripy top-down shawl until the wingspan is as long as the circumference of the cowl. Then connect the wings of your shawl and turn it into a cowl. And i-cord bind off mirrors the edge of the triangular shawl section and gives the cowl a finished look.
Chose 2 or 3 high contrast colors for a graphic look or colors with the same intensity for a softer look (you could pair a variegated with a matching semi-solid colorway).
