Concertina Cowl

Worked from the bottom up, this design shows off gradient yarns beautifully but looks just as stunning with a lovely semi-solid or striped yarn.

The firm pleated section sits comfortably at the back of the neck and is not bulky under long hair or coat collars, perfect for layering garments in colder weather without losing any of the warmth behind your head!

For more confident knitters wanting a different look, try working the smooth stocking stitch front section with a lace pattern, or use purl stitches or cables for texture. Adjust the cast on count to suit the requirements of your chosen pattern stitch.
