Are you looking for this beautiful yarn? Find it at Barker Wool.

The Wild Diamond cowl is a bold, show-stopping colorwork project designed to WOW. With three striking shades and a big, dramatic diamond motif, this cowl is destined to become the crown jewel of your wardrobe. And here’s a little secret about this gem: you’ll never need to catch a float! The stranded section is designed so that every color change stays short and tidy—no long floats, no fuss, just pure knitting joy.

Worked SEAMLESSLY from the top down, it knits up quickly (like any good cowl should), but wears like a hassle-free shawl. Unlike traditional tube cowls that rumple into a pile of knitting around your neck, this shawl-shaped construction lets your knitting shine by creating a triangular front and shortened back. The shape is wonderful, wearable, and just plain fun to knit.

This Cowl Includes:

• Top-Down, Seamless Construction
• Shawl-Shaped Wearability
• Striking Colorwork
• Charts & Written Instructions
