The Lunares Cowl is a triangular neck accessory featuring an allover 2-color linen stitch pattern reminiscent of polka dots. The cowl is knit flat on the bias and features a background color switch to make the most of each skein of yarn. A small seam is required to complete the back neck. A row tracker is included to help keep track of color changes.

This pattern was created for the Malabrigo Quickies collection and used Malabrigo Silky Merino in the colorways Arapey and Indonesia.
