Mood Cowl
Experience Level: Beginner

This pattern was created to use all those odds-and-ends of sock and fingering yarn you have. The beauty of this cowl is that you hold the yarn doubled stranded - while you create a uniquely colored ombre or striped cowl, you’re also saving on knitting time. It’s a simple pattern, you can knit a couple of these cowls in no time!

Construction Details
The Mood Cowl is worked in the round. After working ribbing for the border, stockinette is worked while changing colors whenever you please. Blog post/pattern gives pointers on how to change colors in an appealing way.
