The Third Rail Cowl is a beautifully crafted accessory that features an array of textured stitch patterns, all worked seamlessly in-the-round. These unique stitch designs are perfect for showcasing semi-solid or tonal yarns, allowing you to add depth and interest to your knitting project. To ensure a consistent stitch gauge across the alternating stripes, you will utilize two different needle sizes, which enhances the overall look of this cowl. Furthermore, the reverse side of the cowl reveals an eye-catching blend of horizontal and vertical ridges, giving it an appealing texture from every angle.
