A simple 4-row repeat becomes stunning when you use self-striping yarn! Instructions include a variation for a smaller cowl for children.

Example uses approximately 105 yards of contrast color (the color of the purl ridge “waves”) and 120 yards of main color (the knit sections between the purl waves). I recommend choosing a bright, vivid colorway for the CC and a more muted colorway for the MC.
