The Afterglow Cowl is named for the colored light in the sky after sunset. Solid sections alternate with a lace pattern that creates a gentle ripple. The pattern is very customizable. Make a solid colored cowl to highlight a special skein of yarn or use leftovers to create a cowl with different colors in each section.

Kits are available from NJ Fiberworks. The kit will also make a matching Afterglow Shawl.
