This Cowl/Shawl was designed for the James River Yarn Crawl 2024.

This Cowl/Shawl is knit on the bias to add interest on the edges when wearing. Designed to use (5) colors, you can use more or less the possibilities are endless. Simple enough to take anywhere, yet interesting enough to keep your focus. Color changes give you great small goals to achieve each knitting session. This piece will result in a short Shawl or graft together to make an infinity Cowl. If you would like to use up as much of your yardage as you can, work both sides at the same time and add additional repeats to the slip patterned areas.
