KaleidoKnit Cowl
KaleidoKnit Cowl plays with color and direction, combining bold vertical and horizontal stripes for a vibrant look. Using mosaic knitting, self-striping yarn takes center stage while simple slip-stitches keep the project approachable and quick to knit. The cowl begins at the lower edge, worked flat with vertical stripes, then is joined to work in the round. From there, horizontal striping and gradual decreases shape the cowl into a tapered funnel neck - perfect for layering under coats or over sweaters.
Difficulty Level: Intermediate.
