This is a quick knit, only 15 stitches wide. Simple slipped stitches combined with stripes give it a more complicated color work look without the hassle of color work. Use 13, 15, or 17 needles, gauge doesn’t really matter here.

I include my own modified 3 needle bind off that requires no sewing, provisional cast on, or Kitchener stitch.

I made 3 cowls from 1 skein each of orange, black, and white, each on different size needles.

This cowl is a great quick gift, and can also be made in the recipient’s favorite team colors, it’s perfect for outdoor sports events!
