Knitting small stranded colorwork projects is a simple and satisfying way to play with color with very little risk. So often knitters get caught up in a big project where they have to commit to colors in order to buy the yarn. This encourages us to play it safe, going with old standby colors that we know we like together. These cowl patterns encourage you to use your stash and see colors in a whole new way. Don’t have a stash? Borrow partial balls from a friend? Many people save little balls of yarn with no idea what they want to do with it. Or maybe pick up some mini-skeins from your favorite dyer? Maybe you’ll even find the color combination for your next sweater, hat or shawl.

All of these cowls can be knit in worsted/doubled fingering or in aran/doubled sport weight yarn.

These cowl patterns can be purchased individually for $3 each, but I urge you to purchase them as a set (6 for $8). Included in the set is an essay that talks about choosing colors, sizing, and a few other helpful topics.
