The Stars at Midnight cowl is all about transitions and changing focus. With a simple, yet stunning texture, this pattern brings relaxation and clarity as we move from day to night and think of the possibility of the future.
The slipped stitch texture creates a squishy, cozy fabric. The edges of the cowl are marked by transitional stripes with dot stitches that evoke memories of the stars dotting the night sky and the shift to a new day.
With only two row types and no purl stitches, this easy-to-knit cowl will fly off the needles as quickly as the shooting stars zoom through the sky. The cowl has a shawl-like construction that makes wearing and styling it just as easy.
