This quirky cowl is mostly knit in monochrome black and white, but has surprising little pops of colour that are added afterwards with duplicate stitch. What a great way to use up those tiny amounts of yarn that are just too pretty to throw away! The multiple unblinking eye motif will confuse predators and probably your friends as well.
