(Skörda means harvest in swedish and is pronounced like skur-da)
This cowl is a great way to use leftover DK skeins, it’s written for 2 colors, but you can get creative with it and use as many colors as you want. It’s worked from the top down and you slowly increase throughout the cowl so the bottom is a larger circumference than the top. And with many changing stitch patterns and colors this cowl is the perfect fast and fun project to keep your interest throughout. There is no stranded colorwork involved, instead you work with mosaic knitting which only uses 1 color per row.
