Knit it as written or use any of the nine motifs interchangeably to create a cowl that’s all your own!

Size
Our DIY Colorwork Cowl measures 22” in circumference and is 17” tall. The pattern is easily modified for a larger or smaller cowl. All charts work interchangeably, so if you wish to make your cowl larger (or you would like to switch up the colors) you will need to adjust your yardage accordingly.
