I designed this cowl as a fun and cozy accessory that features multiple textures and creates ever-changing color pooling to keep your interest with every stitch. Knit in four sections, one color runs throughout the piece while other colors are brought in one at a time and held together with the main color for that awesome marled effect. You may choose to go with pops of color against a neutral background or the reverse. Whatever you decide, your color combinations will make your cowl a truly one-of-a-kind beauty! And don’t forget to check out my Mix and Marl Beanie pattern if you’re looking to coordinate!
