The Tulip Fields Cowl is cozy, comfy and a very unique knit! It combines a bulky yarn with a fingering weight yarn in a fun stitch pattern reminiscent of spring tulip fields. You’ll enjoy the in-the-round construction and simple repeating pattern. And you or your favorite kiddo will enjoy wearing it to keep your neck warm and colorful. This detailed pattern offers specifics for a matching cast-on and bind-off that highlight the 1x1 ribbed edges and give ample stretch. It is especially fun in Spincycle Yarns’ variegated Plump and Dyed in the Wool, allowing for endless color combinations.
