Altair Cowl

Inspired by Altair, the brightest star in the constellation of Aquila and the twelfth-brightest star visible in the night sky, this seamless cowl design captures the essence of stellar beauty. Altair is known for its rapid rotation, which causes its equatorial velocity to result in a unique non-spherical shape. This distinctive feature is beautifully emulated in the design of our cowl. Although it may seem complex at first glance, this pattern is perfect for knitters who are comfortable working in the round with basic techniques, such as knitting and purling. In creating this design, I focused on adding rich textures that can beautifully complement speckled or busy colorways, making it an excellent choice for showcasing your favorite yarns. The cowl not only provides warmth but also acts as a statement accessory, reminiscent of the shimmering stars in the night sky. Whether you are looking for a new project to challenge your skills or a creative way to use that vibrant yarn you’ve had on your shelf, this cowl pattern will deliver both satisfaction and style. Grab your needles and immerse yourself in the celestial beauty that awaits!
