This quick and easy cowl was designed to show off a highly variegated yarn using simple slipped stitch pattern – which means you only work with one color at a time.
Knitted entirely in the round, the cowl begins with a pretty twisted stitch border before changing to the slipped stitch pattern.
There are 3 sizing options, and you can use any of your favorite yarns from fingering to worsted weight for a truly unique cowl!
This an advanced beginner/intermediate pattern. Once you understand the pattern stitch it is quite easy to size this for virtually any yarn you have.
