MATERIALS

• Main Yarn: 3 skeins of Blue Sky’s Worsted Cotton, 100% Cotton. This color is Drift. Approximately 450 yards required.
• Olympus’s Sashiko Thread, 40 meters, 100% Cotton. I used 3 skeins of Off White; 2 skeins of each of the following colors: Carrot Orange, Yellow, Gold and Aqua; and 1 skein of Red and of Navy. (If you’d like to design your own stripes, it will be helpful to know that the whole cowl uses 400 yards of yarn and each skein of Sashiko Thread is 44 yards, so at minimum you’ll need 9 or 10 skeins.)

You’ll also need…

• US 10 (6 mm), straight or circular needles
• A tapestry needle
