A playful dance of color brings this intarsia cowl to life, offered in both long and short circumferences, each will add a pop of fun to your wardrobe. Worked in DK weight yarn, the scattered dots invite you to wander through your stash, gathering treasured leftovers. Each dot becomes a tiny love note to the yarns you’ve collected over time and their past projects. Choose a bold palette for a joyful burst of personality, or lean into a gentle, neutral story for a quietly elegant finish. Either way, this cowl wraps you in warmth, whimsy, and colorwork that feels like a celebration.

The pattern includes both charted and written instructions for the colourwork and tutorial links for the Provisional cast on, Three needle bind off (3NBO) and intarsia techniques.
