This cowl uses the modified Fusion Knitting Technique to create a mirrored DNA pattern on both sides of the fabric.
This can be knit with any weight of yarn and is adjustable in both circumference and height. It is shown here in fingering weight version with 5 horizontal & 5 vertical repeats. The worsted weight version has 7 horizontal repeats and one centered vertical repeat.
The cowl uses 2 colours of yarn of the same weight. Look for yarns that are smooth and not sticky. This looks great using 2 solid/tonal colours of yarn or a solid paired with a gradient/self-striping/variegated yarn.
The fingering weight cowl uses approximately 260 yards/ 237 metres of each colour. The worsted weight cowl uses 220 yards/ 200 metres of a semi-solid colour and a gradient.
This pattern is suitable for knitters with experience with cables. A video and picture tutorials are provided for the 1-into-5 stitch that creates the curve at the base of the DNA strands.
Yarn Over New York has kits for both the fingering weight and worsted weight version of this cowl.
