I might be completely biased but this fun cowl looks good on anyone who wears it! Offered in two lengths so you can make it to match your preference, the contrasting stripes rotate around the cowl in a bias that is surprisingly simple to create. The ability to make front post stitches and change colors within a row are the only special skills you need. (Tips are included). You can, of course, skip the contrast stripes and make it all in one color for a fun textured look.

PLUS: tips on how to change colors within a row and photos on how to get the biased stripes set up!

NOTE: This pattern has a tricky 2nd row which is why this pattern is rated “intermediate”. There are lots of tips in the pattern as well as a photo tutorial but don’t be afraid to pm me if you run into troubles. :)
