Tendrils Cowl Knitting Pattern

This is a digital pdf knitting pattern download.

Tendrils is a fun stranded colorwork Möbius cowl. It features several different colorwork patterns, with the background color changing halfway through the cowl. I knit mine using the amazing Spincycle Yarns Dyed in the Wool for the colorwork, which adds such an interesting effect with its slow gradient color changes. It is knit in the round in a tube, and then twisted to form a Möbius strip before grafting the ends together.
