Two different yarns make up a fully reversible cowl

This fun cowl only takes a couple skeins of yarn, and will keep you entertained without being overly complex. Each new section can be quickly memorized, but because you’ll keep changing techniques, you won’t get bored. Mix up not just colors, but also yarn types, such as a single ply with a multi-ply, or smooth with fuzzy, for maximum texture.

Yarn

  • Main color (MC) Yarn: 270 yards (244.4 meters) in DK weight yarn

  • Contrast color (CC) Yarn: 220 yards (197.2 meters) in DK weight yarn

Sample done with Schoppel-Wolle Gradient in “2357 Streiflichter” as the Main Color and The Fibre Co. Lore in “Logical” as the Contrast Color.

Needles
Size 5US (3.75mm) circular, at least 32in or size required to get gauge.

Gauge & Sizing:
Gauge is not critical for sizing, but will impact size and feel of finished object, as well as yardage needed. Fabric should not be too loose, or texture won’t have that “squish” and brioche will be floppy. Adjust needle size to get a gauge appropriate to your yarn choices.

Gauge:

4in x 4in (10cm x 10cm) is 20st x 28-30rows in stockinette
