Using small amounts of Álafoss Lopi (or another bulky-weight yarn) and a big hook, this cowl is a really quick project, perfect for de-stashing and last-minute gifts.

The pattern is more of a basic “recipe” than a by-the-numbers pattern. The size and placement of your stripes will depend on the amount of yarn you use for each colour, and the cowl is easy to size up or down simply by adjusting the length of the starting chain and/or number of rows. The main idea is to just join the next colour wherever the last one ends without worrying about matching things up, for a jagged, “pixelated” effect.
