Ammaliante (enchanting in Italian) is a simple cowl, featuring a fun stitch that reminds me of small, colorful feathers.
The cowl is knitted in the round, with ribbed borders in CC both on the bottom and on the top to keep it from rolling.
The stitch pattern looks much more complicated than it actually is, because it’s based on a mosaic structure, i.e. it’s worked using only one color at a time. The colorwork “movement” is underlined by small cables that are very easy to work without a cable needle.
