Glide
Glide
Glide through this fun project to create a dramatic cowl. Using two colors, the Glide cowl is a fast colorwork project with big impact. Worked SEAMLESSLY from the top down, it knits up quickly (like any good cowl should), but wears like a hassle-free shawl. This cowl is knit flat in the shape of a triangle and then joined and worked in the round. Unlike traditional tube cowls that rumple into a pile of knitting around your neck, this shawl-shaped construction lets your knitting shine by creating a triangular front and shortened back. The shape is wonderful, wearable, and just plain fun to knit.
