The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious Knitting is a mystery; everything you do will change how your final piece willdrape, lok and fit. Your needle size, gauge and posture can have a huge effect on how your fabric feels. This project was inspired by the dreaded dropped stitch. You never know what you'll end up with when you purposely drop a stitch. The Bellona Cowl is constructed in the round, with alternating cables framed within columns of dropped stitches.
