Layers of color! This project is a fun way to be creative with yarn color. Also to use up some of those leftovers yarn bits that you cherish. Each section of color only uses 2 1/2 grams of yarn! Use a bunch of colors or just a few. The cowls shown here use 18 scrumptious colors and 1 main color all in a fingering weight kit. Layer them as a fade or in a contrast. The pattern contains two sizes, instructions on how to adjust the size and different color arrangements. The special stitch used in the pattern is super fun and there are detailed instructions and a video tutorial on how to work it.
