Aphelion (Cosmology) Yarn Set

This yarn set includes yarn only. The pattern is available in Cosmology DARUMA Collection 2022.

Aphelion is knit in a loose Fisherman's Rib with two strands of contrasting colors. Worked from the top down in the round to create a tubular shape, and then is split and worked flat to make the front and back triangular points. The back and front points are shaped the same, so the finished cowl is reversible. The yarn is held double throughout the pattern in two colors to create a marled effect.
