This is the cowl pattern ONLY! For the hat, please see this pattern: Jamestown Hat.

The Jamestown Cowl combines texture and stripes to create a colorful neck warmer. Short rows shape the four stripes in two contrasting colors, which widen and narrow in different places, while rows of broken rib in a neutral main color alternate with garter- and stockinette stitch for texture. Knit in the round in a worsted weight yarn, Jamestown Cowl is a quick knit and particularly fun if you enjoy knitting short rows. The cowl comes in three sizes.
