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
- US 6/4 mm - 24”/60 cm circular recommended
(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.)
