Blend your favorite two colors into one happening cowl. This sample was knitted with a Yarnz2go knit kit in two yummy colors “Nougat” and “Lettuce”. Good enough to eat, right?

In the round knitting with ribbing at beginning and end. The marled/blended technique in the middle is made easy when knitting with the Textured cakes. The weight throughout this cowl never changes, so no bulk gets added….

The cowl measures 7.75” tall and 25” in circumference as shown. Of course it can be made longer, as you wish. The knit kits have more than enough yardage. You could also use different yarn weights as well, perhaps with worsted weights to make a bulky version for the winter.
