Knit a simple cowl in the round using a color work technique with short floats on the reverse side. The whole piece is knitted in 2x2 ribbing broken up with an occasional plain knit round.

If you use a different weight yarn than I used, your yardage requirement will change. Make sure you have enough yarn before starting. Gauge is not essential but just a suggestion.

If you are unsure your colors will have enough contrast, edit a photo of the yarns to black and white and see if there is a sharp contrast. If the yarns both look gray, you will not have a clear motif.

Knit the cowl inside out (with the wrong side facing out) so your floats will be long enough to prevent puckering on the right side of your work.
