Crux Cowl
by Laura Nelkin
Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Measurements: 18 (22)“ (45.5 56cm) around x 10½ (15)” (26.5 38cm) high
Worked in the round, the Crux Cowl alternates the elongated Criss-Cross stitch with twisted and dropped stitches to create a fabric of textural columns. The pattern includes two sizes, since sometimes a taller cowl is just what the doctor ordered!
Ever since Kate Gilbert released her infamous Clapotis scarf, I have been drawn to designs with dropped stitches. While designing the stitch for this cowl I suddenly realized it would be a blast to incorporate them. My absolute favorite part is watching the fabric open up as the stitches are dropped. Addictive, to be sure!
