Persistent Rhombi

Persistent Rhombi is a three color stranded colorwork cowl. It features a stunning argyle pattern that fades in and out in three sections. It begins with a provisional cast on, then is knit in the round in a long tube, and finally Kitchener stitch is used to graft the ends together. Knit using Phoebe by Quince & Co., it’s silky, bouncy and soft with gorgeous, radiant colorways!

Stranded colorwork is charted only.
