Here is a striking cowl with a diagonal-weave slipped stitch pattern that shows off one fancy yarn nicely (against a background of a less fancy yarn). It’s also a quick knit, as it’s worked on a 24” size 10 circular needle, plus a 24” size 8 circular needle for the ribbing. To knit it, you will need roughly 85 - 90 yards of your main color yarn (the one you knit the ribbing with) and 80 yards of your accent color.
