The Dog Walker’s Cowl is an easy to knit stranded colorwork cowl inspired by my escapades dog walking. The bands of colorwork are never going in the same direction (not unlike my dogs). The Dog Walker’s Cowl is the perfect beginner’s stranded colorwork knitting project. The charted section is easy to follow. The pattern includes a full color chart as well as a greyscale version.

The Dog Walker’s Cowl pattern is written for sport weight yarn, but can easily be modified to use any gauge of yarn.The pattern includes a step by step guide for recalculating the pattern based on your own gauge swatch.
