This beautiful two color cowl reflects the view we have every day on California’s Central Coast. The pattern uses two contrasting colors of DK weight yarn and is worked in the round on 24” circular needles. We chose Cardiff Cashmere Classic because it’s soft, uses very high quality cashmere, comes in a wide range of colors, and is a delight to work with. This cowl can be worn either top down or bottom up. The simple two color stranded technique is useful for all of your various two color patterns.
