Directionality

In Cowls, Fingering weight yarn, Good for gradients, Patterns, Shop sample available by Shannon

Mix two speckly colors and play around with directionality on this fun-to-work and fab-to-wear cowl! The textured stitch is easy to execute but so much fun to work, and the fading from one color to another is soft and subtle. Add a few wee buttons, and voila! You’ve got a piece you can wear upside-down and rightside-up.
