Brightside is an easy striped cowl that is knit up like a scarf but then joined together using the Three Needle Bind-Off Technique to make it a cowl! However, you can leave it as a scarf if you prefer.

Pattern includes link to a tips page that provides technique tutorials and tips for making your own Brightside, including modifications you can make (such as: adding an icord edge, using a different weight yarn, and using the color wheel to help you pick your colors).
