Ombre Blocks and Stripes Cowl is a large knitted cowl in 6 monochromatic colors, knit in 2 different directions, vertical for color blocks, then seamed and turned sideways to pick up stitches and create stripes in the round. Color blocks and stripes use 2 different stitches, seed and garter. The cowl is edged with mini tassels just for fun. If using Miss Babs Yummy 2 Ply Toe Gradient Set, the cowl is made to consume all of the yarn (no scraps left behind). The design is simple and created for the advanced beginner.
