Soft-Striping Cowl
Does a self-striping yarn sometimes feel too “stripey?” Or maybe you want something soft and cozy against your neck? This simple project gives you both! Take that favorite skein of striping yarn—or use your scraps!—and hold it with a lace-weight cashmere, mohair/silk blend, or brushed baby alpaca. You’ll get a little color and a lot of luxury.
Cowl is worked in the round in one piece—finish it in a weekend!
