Celebrating the beloved oval, this garter stitch intarsia cowl offers the opportunity to master managing three sources of yarn all at once. Make it your own by making each half oval its own color or mix it up with scraps using two-row stripes within the shape.

This project is worked flat and uses knitting knowledge including intarsia cast on, reading charts, intarsia knitting, intarsia bind off, horizontal invisible seaming, and simple finishing, all on straight or circular needles.
