INTRODUCTION

This cowl is designed especially for Mimi (@liebwed on Instagram) for the Magic Yarn Ball Swap 2017 (by JaWol in Rotterdam). But I think it will be a lovely knit for all knitters. It’s knitted with two colors in light fingering weight, using the mosaic knitting technique. You can either have a low contrast between the colors, to get a soft color effect or use a high contrast for a stronger effect.
