Studded Diamonds Cowl

I have recently become intrigued with producing more intricate designs that look like stranded colour work but are much simpler to knit using slipped stitches - only one colour is worked per round. This is not mosaic as it alternates the colour worked every round.

This cowl is the companion to the Studded Diamonds Hat, knit at a looser gauge to give more drape to the fabric. It will look best if made in one light colour and one dark colour to really show the pattern.

The cowl circumference is 42". The sample shows the wider option. The narrower option works three rows of small diamonds.

The sample was made using two coordinating colours of Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend. If making both the hat and cowl 100 g of each will be enough, but you may need to swap your main and contrast colours, depending on the sizes made, to be on the safe side.
