Striking and repetitive colorwork and simple construction makes for a fun and wearable cowl. Choose three contrasting colors, or only one, to make this as dramatic or subtle as you wish.

Pattern is worked in the round as a long tube that is connected at the end of the pattern.
The pattern is intended to begin with a provisional cast on and then joined in the end with either a three needle bind off or grafted with a kitchener stitch. If you prefer not to do this, you can simply do a long tail cast on and sew the ends together (to join the tube) when finished.
The stranded colorwork is shown in chart form only. It is not written out. But this is a very easy 4-stitch repetitive sequence.
