Guardian
Guardian is a colorwork cowl, worked bottom up in the round, featuring pairs of wings around the center. A great project for scraps and playing around with endless color combinations!
The pattern is written for 5 colors in fingering or sport weight yarn, though you can easily choose more or fewer colors to fit your style and aesthetic, or substitute heavier weight yarn for a bulkier or warmer cowl.
