Eternal Equinox

On the equinox, night and day are exactly the same length - all over the world.

This cowl was inspired by this careful balance during the equinox and works great with high contrast yarn. This knitting pattern features stockinette stitch, mosaic colorwork, and stripes! This infinity cowl is completely seamless and is created by knitting a tube using a provisional cast-on. It can be easily adjusted to make a larger/smaller version.
