Grab some mini-skeins or dive into your stash to create this
striped cowl! It’s fun to knit and fun to wear! The clever fringing
method means there are no ends to weave in — but you can
always omit the fringe if it’s just not you.

The simple garter-stitch based stitch pattern makes the cowl
reversible but plenty easy enough for beginning knitters or a
meditative project for more experienced knitters.

It’s a great stash-buster as you can use just about any worsted weight yarn you have in your stash. I used seven colors that were included in the Woolstock bundle. My blog post even makes suggestions about how to arrange your colors.

It’s a one-size-fits-adults pattern where gauge matters, but isn’t 100% crucial for success. This pattern has been test stitched and professionally tech edited.
