An ideal first-time project for those who haven’t attempted stranding before. There is no shaping to be considered, and no long yarn floats to deal with.

A suggested palette of four colours is provided, but you can knit this design in more or less shades if you desire. Make it uniquely yours by chosing a colour scheme that speaks to you. Only small quantities of yarn are required to work this, making it ideal to use up leftovers from other projects.

The size of this cowl is easy to adjust to your personal taste, full details are given for modifying both the circumference and length.
