Day of the Dead Cowl
Or get the whole issue here!
Skill Level Intermediate
Stranded colorwork forms the sugar skulls on this bright cowl for Día de los Muertos. Instead of changing colors every few rows, let a self-striping yarn do the work! It’s great fun to watch the skulls appear and to guess what color they’ll be.
