This cowl is worked flat with a 4 stitch border on each side. It uses a provisional cast-on and is grafted (kitchener stitch) to form a cowl. The sample used an entire 400-yd skein of yarn. For a longer cowl, you either need a larger skein or a second skein.

The color pattern will vary depending on your choice of yarn. The yarn used in the sample was fairly evenly split in quarters: dark, blue, dark, orange. Changing the number of repeats will also affect the resulting pattern.
