A super chunky cowl that really is as delicious as it looks. Quick and easy to knit - it helps if you have a bit of Fair Isle or stranded knit work knowledge.

This pattern uses 2 skeins of Malabrigo Rasta: one variegated or solid and one in natural - you can you any variegated or solid color with the natural and it will look amazing.

The knit/knit and knit/purl rib is worked as Fair Isle, with the main color yarn held in the left hand and the contrasting color yarn held in the right hand. You don’t have any floats to worry about.

The color change just carries the yarn up to the next round on the inside of the work – you don’t need to cut the yarn.

You can easily adjust the pattern to make the cowl wider or shorter.
