Introducing… Neon Safari!

I love animal print. I love neons. I love contrast. I love colourwork. I love cowls. So here is the result of all my favourite things converging in my brain: an animal print cowl that’s three looks in one!

Grab six 10g mini skeins of fingering weight yarn along with 50g semisolid and you can make this two-looks-in-one pattern. If you’d prefer a simpler look, I’ve also included instructions for a two colour version.

The design features simple stranded colourwork along with a 2×2 ribbed edging. There are two sizes, both in width and height so you can customise the fit to your preference.

Stuff you’ll need:

Needles
UK 2.5mm 50cm circular/US 1.5 24″ circular
UK 3mm 50cm circular/US 2.5 24″ circular
(you can also use 40/60cm needles)
