There’s nothing like snuggling down into a cozy, colorwork cowl as you take a brisk walk through the park or embark on your morning run. And what better way to use up some worsted weight than with some fun, simple colorwork?

Contrast Chevron Cowl is a super customizable colorwork cowl that came to me in a flash of inspiration. The simplicity of the colorwork in this cowl leaves a lot of room to mix and match colors – I hope you enjoy knitting up your own versions of this cowl!
