We know what you are looking for right this minute: something FAST to knit, bright and colourful, and crazy easy without being boring.

Got it!

Colour takes center stage in this easy cowl! Striping five shades over a fabric of garter stitch and scattered eyelets makes for an eye-catching accessory and an endless array of palette options.

The cowl is worked flat, with yarn held double, and then the sides are seamed in finishing.
The colours are worked in this order: Mango Ice (Colour A), Fauna (Colour B), Anthem (Colour C), Windswept (Colour D), and Seedling (Colour E). You can easily work this cowl in one colour by ignoring the colour change notes.
