I like quick projects and there’s nothing more satisfying than casting on and finishing a project over a weekend - with no complicated stitches, just beautiful, colourful yarn combined with a similar weight yarn in a contrast colour. Working only with one yarn each row, a few slipped stitches and beautiful colours do all the hard work to get this cowl.

One size - but options to make it bigger or smaller are offered.

I’m offering 2 options - knitted in the round on circular needles - use magic or travelling loop but if you prefer knitting flat - follow the instructions for Option 2 and seam the sides to make the cowl.

Yarns used for the pattern are classified as weight 4 - dk/worsted. Brushtale/Brushtail yarns are a very soft blend of upcycled merino and NZ possum. Juniper Moon farm Fourteen paints is a luxurious blend of 14 micron merino and cashmere. And these 2 yarns together are just divine.
Please note both of these yarns are very light , with a long yardage for their weight.
Another sample used Mirasol Sisa and Juniper Moon Farm - fourteen paints -
if you change the yarns, please make sure you have at least 120m of each yarn , in order to avoid disappointment of running out of yarn.
