Cinetico Cowl

Cinetico (Kinetic) is a fitted cowl. With its dynamic play of black and white it reminds me of Opt (or Kinetic) Art. The illusion of curved zig-zag is obtained simply changing the place where to perform the decrease in a classical chevron pattern. So much movement added with this easy trick!

Cinetico is worked sideways so to better display the pattern. When the piece measures enough to be worn around the neck (20” / [50 cm]), the cowl is closed with an I-cord bind-off, forming little loops at the top of each “wave”. On the other side of the cowl, matching buttons are sown along a diagonal line so to ensure that the top of the cowl is more fitted than the bottom.
