Three colors, one easy stitch, and a cowl that looks like you planned every shade. The Color Theory Cowl is worked in allover seed stitch with two strands of Ewe So Sporty held together. You swap out one strand at a time, so each color melts into the next for a soft ombre effect. The stitch stays the same from start to finish, so it’s a relaxing, rhythmic knit that’s easy to pick up and put down.

Who it’s for: Level 1, First Stitches. If you can knit and purl and you’re still looking things up, you have what you need. The one new thing is holding two strands together and changing one strand at a time to blend the colors. Stuck? Our Knitting Knowledge tutorials are here to help.

Get the yarn: The Color Theory Cowl Yarn Kit comes in 13 color combos put together to blend from shade to shade, with the printed pattern. Or choose any 3 shades of Ewe So Sporty, 2 skeins each.
