The Cascades Cowl is a stranded colorwork pattern that is knit in the round using circular needles. A provisional cast on and the Kitchener stitch provide a double sided, reversible cowl.

This pattern is knit with a lighter DK weight Superwash Merino yarn, blended with Yak and Silk for beautiful drape and extra coziness. This cowl is intended to be a 3-skein cowl, using roughly 2 skeins of MC and 1 skein of CC.
