In a world gone crazy with hashtags and selfies, this stranded colorwork cowl is a social media addict’s best accessory.

Super bulky yarn makes for a quick knit and an ideal first project, which means you can get back to instagramming your curated lifestyle in no time. Worked from the bottom up in the round, this cowl has an I-cord cast on worked first, the work is joined into the round, then the Fair Isle chart is begun.

Due to the large pattern repeat, it can be helpful to subdivide the chart and add in more stitch markers, making it easier to keep your place.

Want a taller cowl? Simply add more repeats! The I-cord bind off is worked after completion of the chart to mimic the cast on edge. Get knitting and watch those “likes” pile up!
