This is pure feminine ultra yumminess. Sweet paillettes for sparkle, angora, kid mohair, alpaca…so soft and lovely to wear. This cowl can be made in double the length and is fully reversible, so it’s gorgeous on both sides! You can add repeats of the pattern and make it deeper easily. You hold one strand of each yarn - Schulana “Kid-Paillettes and Hikoo “Kenzie” - held together.

You do need to know that this pattern used every single inch of the yarn. I mean nothing left. So, it’s a good idea to have an extra skein of yarn being held at your LYS or buy an extra skein of each and return if you don’t need it. Gauges can change for some knitters and it’s never good to leave yourself vulnerable to having to use a different dye lot.

If you’d like to use another yarn, you can use Malabrigo Worsted, one skein will make the small one. You can also use a bulky on the lighter end of that weight category; just know it will be denser. This works up quickly.
