Thank you for your interest, but this pattern is retired and no longer available even if Ravelry still lists it as a FREE offering. Please check back later for other designs.

This cowl is a luscious mix of texture and color resulting from the simple juxtaposition of bands of stitches while using a variegated yarn. The yarn does the work for you. The I-cord edge, done in a complimentary contrast color, highlights the piece, and with its high silk content, results in a wonderful drape.

Men and women can wear this, single or doubled around the neck, to suit one’s own sense of fashion.

This is a fairly easy knit, but allow some time to knit the I-cord edging.
