DETAILS
The magic of simple slipped stitches and clever shaping come together to make a one-of-a-kind cowl that is just as fun to knit as it is to wear! I love the fun checkerboard patterning that really highlights using higher contrast colors together. This cowl is worked flat on the bias, and then seamed.

DK Weight Wool Yarn in 2 contrasting colors

SUGGESTED YARN
For this cowl I chose a squishy, woolen-spun, DK weight yarn in high contrasting colors. The woolly nature of this yarn blocks out beautifully with this stitch pattern and is very cozy and warm.
SUGGESTED NEEDLES

(Use the needle size you need to achieve gauge. Cord length is not overly important, as you won’t be joining to work in the round.)
