This fun and easy cowl will keep you knitting to watch the way the colors interact and reach up over the rows you knit! This works well for both slow color shifting yarns or busy multi-colored yarns, as the floated stitches show off the varied colors very nicely. This is a great pattern for those complex multi-colored yarns that look too busy in other stitch patterns, and this cowl is simple enough to really show off the yarn.

The size is a medium-snug adult sized cowl, but can be easily adjusted in size by changing the number of stitches by adding or subtracting in groups of 4 stitches. The fabric is a thick, squishy rib that is great for warding off winter chills. This version used 2 balls of Mochi Pus, but any soft heavy worsted weight would work well. If you increase the size by adding more stitches for a longer length or making the cowl taller, be sure you have more of your yarn!
