Thanks for checking out the Convex Cowl!

Completely adjustable in circumference, this adaptable, two-sided cowl comes in two formats—infinity scarf and tall cowl—and is knit while holding two strands of fingering-weight yarn together. A subtle curvature of rows gives this cowl a distinctive, eye-catching feature, while mock-i-cord edges give it crisp borders. Increases are dispersed throughout the body of the cowl and are completely hidden on the reverse-stockinette side of the garment. This is a great pattern for a personalized fade, but it also looks great in when striping solid or variegated yarns.
