Inspired by the colors of a bygone decade, this winter staple is a must knit! The groovy stripe repeat and Aran weight gauge make this cowl fast, easy and fun to knit!
This cowl is designed as a moebius loop. Using a provisional cast on, you then knit a tube and finish by grafting together the ends.
