This fun cowl and beanie can be made as colourful as you wish. Both pieces are knitted in rounds and feature stranded colourwork.
The cowl begins with a provisional cast-on and then the stranded colourwork section is worked. A fold line is followed by the contrasting stocking stitch facing. The piece is folded in half and the cast-on and off edges are joined with a three-needle cast-off.
The simple colourwork pattern can be worked from the chart or the written instructions and require intermediate knitting skills.
