Wild Diamond Cowl by Tellybean Knits | The Wild Diamond cowl is a bold colorwork project that is designed to WOW! Using three colors and a large, dramatic diamond motif, this cowl will be the crown jewel in your wardrobe. And here’s secret about this little gem: You’ll never need to catch a float! When working the stranded colorwork section, all color changes are kept short and sweet, so catching long floats is unnecessary. Worked SEAMLESSLY from the top down, it knits up quickly (like any good cowl should), but wears like a hassle-free shawl. Unlike traditional tube cowls that rumple into a pile of knitting around your neck, this shawl-shaped construction lets your knitting shine by creating a triangular front and shortened back. The shape is wonderful, wearable, and just plain fun to knit.
