KENNETH
KENNETH is a colorwork cowl with a unique shape and construction. Work top down in the round until the base of the neck, then bind off the sides and cast on two small steek panels that will create side splits. Complete the colorwork, steek your splits, then pick up all of your bottom stitches to create a beautiful ribbed edge. Finish the bottom ribbing by working the front and back panels flat.
The colorwork motif resembles a sound frequency pattern. What better tribute to one of the greatest bands of the 90’s, R.E.M., than to name this design Kenneth? :D
