The “Nea” cowl was born out of experimentation and adaptation. One day I was inspired to make something with scraps of O.U.R. yarn leftover from previous projects. For a while I had wanted to find a way to mix colors in more organic shapes, with uneven edges. So I started playing and came up with a way to do it. I liked the result so I kept adding colors. The end result is a playful but simple design that is great for experimenting with yarn combinations!

-Pattern includes “Exact Instructions” which provide row by row directions and charts to make a cowl just like the sample and “Choose your own Adventure Instructions” which explain the color mixing technique while allowing you to use different yarn weights and to play with the technique and really make it your own.

-“Exact Instructions” are written for one size only, but “….Adventure Instructions” provide formulas for you to make the cowl any size you want.
