Simple bands of circular stockinette stitch are transformed into soft, billowing waves using one simple “diving” stitch every eighth round. The stitch pattern makes a rounded, three-dimensional texture on one side and a deep honeycomb on the other, making it excellent for a cowl where either side can be visible. One Bromley gradient kit from Valley Yarns creates the cowl as pictured, buy two kits to easily enlarge the length or width.
