Medio Cowl is another crazily constructed cowl… first two “halves” are knit in the round with a Fibonacci striping sequence. Then those two cylinders are joined together with a garter stitch center strip that eats up stitches as it is worked perpendicularly between them.
Play with color.... I chose a neutral and then two skeins in the same color family, but with a different value. Join our KAL over in my Ravelry forum
