THE DESIGN
“A triple treat!”
They say that a triangle is the strongest shape … Well, it certainly makes a strong showing in the Tricolor Triangle Colorwork Cowl! In this free pattern, rows of triangles in three colors encircle your neck in a fun, geometric motif. A bit of ribbing in alternate colors at the top and bottom of the cowl adds a graphic, finishing touch. Plus, with a squishy structure and a comfortable, more-close-fitting size, this cowl is super cozy and quick to knit!

We chose three colors of Wool and the Gang’s Alpachino Merino for the Tricolor Triangle Colorwork Cowl. A chunky-weight blend of sustainably sourced alpaca and merino wool, this yarn has a gentle, poofy twist and creates a plush and cozy fabric. And with a color palette that features both playful brights and calm neutrals, there are so many fun combo options!
