Ready to DIVE INto a new project? Fun and fast, the Dive In cowl is a great stash-buster. Grab those mini-skeins and leftover bits of yarn to create a stunning, unisex cowl. Worked SEAMLESSLY from the top down, it knits up quickly (like any good cowl should), but wears like a hassle-free shawl. This cowl is knit flat in the shape of a triangle and then joined and worked in the round. Unlike traditional tube cowls that rumple into a pile of knitting around your neck, this shawl-shaped construction lets your knitting shine by creating a triangular front and shortened back. The shape is wonderful, wearable, and just plain fun to knit.
