Brightside Cowl is an easy and fun accessory to knit. It’s worked flat like a scarf, working 2-row 2-color stripes, with a main color and 5 contrasting colors of bulky-weight yarn (shown in Berroco Vintage Chunky). At the end you pick up cast-on edge stitches and work the three needle bind-off to attach scarf ends together to make it a cowl.
Links to video tutorials are provided for each technique used so this is a great beginner pattern for new knitters looking to learn a few new skills! Or more advanced knitters will enjoy it as a fun, relaxing knit :slightly_smiling_face:
