Through the Darkness Cowl
On Sale

Sometimes we need to get through the darkness before our light can shine. The Through the Darkness Cowl starts with a solid dark color and then goes through a transition phase before bursting into multicolored magic.
The cowl is specifically designed to work with variegated yarns that incorporate pride colors. Think beyond heteronormative expectations and the gender binary - the magic happens when people have the space to be themselves.
The cowl is worked in one piece from the top down. It uses only simple stitches, making it workable even for newer crocheters - though I strongly encourage the use of stitch markers as indicated in the pattern! The pattern includes notes for customizing the pattern in a number of ways, including creating a shawl with the same pattern.

The pattern can be adjusted to work with any yardage, including an unequal amount of colors A and B. If you’re working it as a shawl, I recommend using 1 skein of color A and 2 of color B.
The sample was made using worsted weight, but the pattern works well with anything from a fingering to an aran.
