This is a close-fitting cowl that is knit in the round and features a mosaic design. It is a quick and easy knit. There is no stranding of the colorwork, as each round is knit with only one color at a time.
The yarn used is Malabrigo Rios. Any light worsted weight yarn in high contrast colors would work for this cowl.

The pattern is written in one size. Instructions are included for adding width or depth.

The cowl measures 19.75“/50 cm circumference, 7.75“/19.5 cm depth.
