A stranded colourwork cowl, perfect for anyone of any gender.

Gauge: 28 stitches by 31 rows in stranded colourwork. Gauge is not ciritical to fit, but knitting at a larger gauge may result in running out of yarn if you are using 100g skeins of DK.

You will need two skeins of DK yarn (at least 100g each) in contrasting colours, size 4 & 6 needles (3.5mm & 4mm), darning/tapestery needle, stitch marker & scissors.

Knit on 60cm (24”) circulars. Can also be knit on DPN’s, two circulars or magic loop.

Not recommended to those new to stranded colourwork, due to some long floats. Longer floats can, of course, be trapped, or left as is - this is up to the knitter and their preference.
