Play with a colorful palette while making this quick and fun cowl. Each color mixes with the one above and below for an ever-changing interplay of hues. The easy slip-stitch pattern works best with a mix of dark and lighter/brighter yarns, or choose one solid and one variegated for the two-color version.

Kits are available from the designer here.
