Designed to highlight a color-shifting yarn like Entropy DK, this double-wrap cowl is full of surprise and interest. Easy-to-work repeats offer just enough spice to get you into a comfortable rhythm for a fun project you won’t want to put down.

This pattern works best with a pair of 2-ply DK-weight yarns, one solid and one with variegated plies, such as Entropy DK. Handspun yarn from variegated fiber would also work beautifully. Take care to select a solid yarn that is not matched too closely in the color shifts, or you may lose the pattern a bit.

Color A (Solid): Kelbourne Woolens Scout
100% wool, 100 g, 274 yds / 250 m; pattern uses about two-thirds of a hank. Sample colorway: 501 Plum Heather

Color B (Color shifting): Feederbrook Farm Entropy DK
100% wool, approx. 100 g, 260 yds; pattern uses about two-thirds of a hank. Sample colorway: Flash Point

Pattern can be worked entirely from written instructions or using charts.
Graft is illustrated in a separate photo tutorial, as well as a video tutorial.

Warm thanks to Elizabeth Ator for helping me test this pattern!
