Combining easy cabling techniques and mosaic knitting, the Sidetracked Cowl is more complex looking than it is to knit! With just left twists, slipped stitches, and a single strand of yarn used to knit each row, this cowl works up quickly into an impressive, textured swirl sure to impress your friends. Pair a semi solid with a variegated colorway to make it even more interesting!
