This simple stranded colorwork cowl pattern was designed for Monarch Knitting’s quarterly subscription box, in collaboration with Sarah of Sea Change FIbers. It is truly amazing to get the opportunity to work with a local dyer and a local yarn store for one amazing project. Only two colors are used per round, making Level Up perfect for beginner colorwork knitters to level up their skills, and seasoned knitters will find it fun and memorizable! The sample shows the pattern with two CCs, but any number of CCs can be used!

Colorwork instructions are both charted and written.
