Diamonds & Gems Cowl
This cowl is a fun interplay of color and stitches. Together, they form a pattern that reminds me of gems. It’s kind of like a necklace made of yarn!
I used worsted yarn but you could use other weights too, just be sure to adjust your hook accordingly and of course, the size will change too. It’s a great for using up leftover skeins of yarn too!

I made the cowl on the longer end so it can be work in different configurations, I like it draped because I don’t like things tight around my neck, but it can be twisted in front or wrapped around the neck a couple of times for a different look. Have fun!
