Longshore Currents Cowl
The Longshore Currents cowl is a perfect project for practicing stranded colorwork techniques. With just two colors you can practice the necessary skills without having to constantly change yarn colors.
The cowl is knit lengthwise before sewing the cast-on and bind-off edges together.
Stitch pattern is charted only (no written instructions for the stranded colorwork pattern).
