The 4 Color marled cowl is a joy to knit and wear.

You can make it as colorful or subdued as you like it to be. This one was knitted from a Yarnz2go knit kit, making it super easy to blend/marl your colors without adding extra bulk to your knitting.
Marling/Blending yarn is fun and creates a lovely accent in your knitting, especially when new colors get introduced.

As shown here, using a light fingering weight yarn held double, creating a sport weight yarn that makes this cowl light and airy.
Heavier yarns create a more dense cowl for cooler seasons, larger needle sizes recommended.

Sample as shown: Height 11.5”, 25” in circumference. To make it longer, simply add more stripes.
