This is two patterns in one!

The scarf and the cowl are knitted partly with a one-color Garter Stitch and partly with the mosaic knitting technique. The two-color motif is created by changing the color of the yarn every two rows and using a combination of knit stitches and slipped stitches. Both forms are consisted of two sections arranged alternately.

SCARF: approx. 71”/180 cm length and 9”/23 cm width
COWL: 47.25”/120 cm in circumference and 9”/23 cm height
