A standard, even fade on a DK weight yarn is all it takes to achieve this classically cool cowl that you will reach for again and again. The Speckle Smash Cowl uses beginner friendly techniques and materials to achieve a really gratifying and customizable piece in a snap! An enjoyable knit, this design looks smashing on literally EVERY BODY. And just like its sister, the “Grunge Fade Cowl”, this pattern is great for mini skeins and a perfect stashbuster – I hope you love it! #distortionfibers #specklesmashcowl #grungefadecowl
