I hand knit this Beautiful Multi-Directional Cowl, or Infinity Scarf, with a self-striping yarn in a blend of 80% Wool and 20% Nylon. The stripes are on the diagonal and intersect each other creating an architectural design.
This unique design is an elegant canvas for a self-striping yarn because of the corners and angles of the knitting. Although it is not at all apparent, it incorporates a lot of different knitting techniques. I took an existing technique and improved upon it so that this scarf is completely reversible!
This cowl measures 11" wide by 52" around. Lay it once around your neck and it's a scarf, wrap it order twice and it's a cowl or collar - an amazingly versatile piece. Plus the real beauty of this Infinity Scarf is that it can't fall off - it's a circle! It will stay on no matter what happens.
The colors are soft and subtle, from paler seamfoam and mossy green through a rusty beige, lighter beige and onto a brighter blue-green tone, almost teal. The different directions of the knitting cause all these colors to play against each other beautifully.
Although more intense than pastel, this shawl is not overwhelming, but will add a bit of pizzazz to any outfit. The yarn is very soft which definitely makes for a warm and cozy wrap. And, it will work for both women and men, too!
This is my own design, hand-knitted by me (Trish) in my non-smoking, pet-free studio. It is new and has never been worn.
Hand Wash and lay flat to dry. May be dry cleaned.
