A cowl fit for a mermaid! Waves of sea green and turquoise froth around your neck in soothing bands of color. Fingering weight yarn in tonal colors and an easy-to-remember four-round stitch pattern make for relaxing knitting.

Use gradient yarns, color-changing yarns, or a tonal pack of mini-skeins as shown here. Or make a rainbow version using your sock yarn odds and ends. Follow the links in the text for videos of techniques.

I used Stroll Tonal packaged in mini skeins packs of 5. One mini pack should make two cowls if you match the gauge given in the pattern.
