This cowl is designed to be fun, beginner friendly, and stash busting! Using less than 1 skein of 2 colors of fingering weight yarn, the color combinations are endless. I used 2 of those special skeins from stash that were perfect for the playful pop of color I needed to brighten my days (and all my outfits).
