Love the colorwork portion of the Xenolith hat and want more of it? Then this cowl is for you. Designed to be knit with a set of fingering weight mini skeins or half skeins, this cozy cowl has all-over patterning that is easily adapted to as few as two colors and as many as you’d like.

To knit this pattern, you need to know how to:

  • knit and purl,
  • work in the round,
  • knit in stranded colorwork, and
  • work from a colorwork chart.

Two size options are provided, but the pattern also has details on how to change the size or knit it in thicker yarn.
