Melt Cowl is a cosy neck warmer featuring an interesting, rhythmic texture that is deceptively easy to knit. This pattern works particularly well with hand dyed and variegated 8ply/DK yarns, as the texture avoids any possible pooling or striping. Melt Cowl is a great weekend project to knit for yourself, or to make as a gift for a friend.
