Long enough to loop twice around your neck, Minno is a playful cowl with easy colorwork. Worked in stockinette with slip stitch color dots, this is a fun chance to experiment with color palettes and use up leftover yarn. The reverse side shows an intriguing dashed pattern formed by the contrast color strands. Minno is an easy pattern to modify and finishes very quickly.

For more quick knitting, you can continue the slip stitch adventure with the Minno Hat.

Skill Level easy

Finished Measurements
Approximately 51” around by 8½“ high after blocking

This is a great stashbuster, and won’t use a full skein of each contrast color, which need about 30 yards each.
