A clean, modern cowl worked on the bias to create strong diagonal lines and intentional color movement. The Grainline Bias Cowl is a fast, addictive make that uses just 300 yards total and includes multiple yarn “recipes”: DK, Sport + Lace, Fingering held double, or Fingering + Lace. With an advanced beginner–friendly construction and repeat, it’s designed to shine with tonals, speckles, and variegated yarns—so you can grab that special skein and actually use it.
