This cowl is the perfect pattern for complexly-dyed yarns — the simple, textured stitch highlights the colorway, but isn’t obscured by a riot of color. The stitch pattern is modified from Bamboo Stitch; by passing a yarn over around the two stitches that follow, you create dashes on the surface and a slight pucker in the column. The result is a cozy, textured fabric that perfectly complements speckled and other lively yarns.
