Shadowing cowl~

With the fall season, cozy cowls make great projects to knit. Not only will they be keeping our neck warm but they also add color around our faces. Another perk is that they work up fast and even make great gift ideas.

The Shadowing cowl is fun to knit in two pretty contrasting colors with an easy stranded method. The pattern is fully written, has a chart and a how to video link on how to catch the longer floats in the back of your work.

The height is 8” and the circumference is 20” at smallest middle part with the ribbing portions stretching to 22” in circumference. Instructions on how to increase for larger sizes are given and if you knit your cowl with a Yarnz2go knit kit, there is plenty of yarn to add length and circumference.
