Soft, casual, cozy: Dither is a quick, unchallenging knit with a dramatic result. This design uses the fauxtarsia technique to create marled and solid stripes in the same row, showing off Ansel’s gauge flexibility to great effect. Fully reversible, Dither is worked flat, and then joined with a reversible seam. To make this project, you will need to know how to knit, purl, and slip stitches. Pattern includes instructions for adjusting the depth and circumference of your cowl, and for the seaming technique used.
