Leitmotif
Seasons collide in this colorful, fluffy cowl! The bright fair isle pattern cheers the soul like a beautiful spring day, while the double layer of soft, silky mohair will keep you warm on the day of bitterest. You can easily adjust the width, length, or both, and de-stashers can have a field day, using any number of colors (why stick to just five?!). The sampler-like style keeps it interesting and provides any number of mix and match opportunities.
This makes a great project for fair-isle newbies, as the wrong side will be your little secret - hidden inside the tube, never to see the light of day. The trickiest part is grafting the ends together to form a continuous, circular tube. But not to worry! Clear instructions with helpful pointers are included to help make your efforts, as well as the cowl, absolutely seamless.
