The Summer Soundtrack Cowl is the sport/DK-version of my original Soundtrack Cowl and it’s a great introduction to slip stitch colorwork. It uses just 1 skein of each of the 2 colors of worsted-weight yarn (although there is also the Summer Soundtrack Cowl if you would prefer sport/dk-weight). Like a catchy background melody, Soundtrack’s stitch pattern is a bit addictive - you’ll have a hard time putting it down! 

Interested in step-by-step lessons for making this cowl? Check out my Soundtrack Cowl virtual course! In this course you’ll learn every step of making this cowl, including tips on using the color wheel and color harmonies to pair 2 colors together.

There’s also a Summer Soundtrack tee if you’re interested in using this stitch pattern for a garment!
