Cowl is knit stranded in the round and then seamed after blocking.

Designed to show off the full range of colors offered by Plied Yarns, this versatile scarf can be made using any number of colors or sized stripes. It’s a great beginner project and an excellent stashbuster.

For years, I’ve been plotting a design that uses thirteen—a baker’s dozen—colors set against a solid background. Knit a Baker’s Dozen showcases 13 colors of Plied North Ave—a woolly, marled yarn—against a rich, saturated backdrop of Neighborhood Fiber Co. Organic Studio Sock. It’s a duet of sibling yarns!

This super-simple cowl will have you literally exclaiming, “OMFG!” It uses Plied’s uniquely marled yarn to create an ombre that seamlessly fades from one color to the next. This is the gradient you didn’t know you could make but always wanted.
