This cowl uses 3 colors, although it can work with one or two or even more colors. The “purl swirl” is a sequence of 5 stitches with 1 added at the end of the round, which offsets the sequence to form the swirl. Spiral sequence knitting is simple. You work the 5-stitch pattern continually around and around until the desired length.

Although a specific yarn has been listed for this pattern, you can use any lovely DK weight yarns and colors in its place. You will need about 150 yards of each color.
