I was designing a sweater with self-striping yarn several years ago and became interested in how the color flows differently depending on the stitch pattern. This cowl is worked in two textured stitch patterns, and the textures show much more clearly than when using a solid color yarn. The pop-up stitch pattern is especially interesting to work with self-striping yarn because one color stays on top to make each pop-up. Pop-ups are created by working short sections with extra rows.

NOTIONS
Smooth waste yarn for provisional cast-on; tapestry needle.
