This gender-inclusive cowl is named for the slipped stitch patterning in the center, reminiscent of Greek fretwork. May it transport your day-to-day into small adventures and accompany you on new discoveries.

The cowl was designed to be an easy and relaxing two-color knit, which uses only one color at a time to achieve its unique and eye-catching graphics.

It features a split garter stitch bottom to allow for a better fit at the shoulders, which is then connected in the round to start the color patterning, thereby avoiding purling!

The bubble section involves only the periodic dipped stitch (knit into a row below), and the fretwork section is deceptively simple.
