ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Perfectly Amiable Cowl is a quick and simple knit using DK weight yarn. It highlights a fun mosaic colorwork motif worked with only one strand of yarn per round.

The knit is simple, easy to follow, and a bit addicting. It’s the perfect knit for the evenings when you’d like something more engaging than plain stockinette, but you don’t feel like working anything too intricate or detailed.

This cowl is a simple design that provides a fun opportunity to play with contrasting colors. This pattern is worked bottom up. Learn more about the design inspiration, knitting experience, and wearing experience here.

You should be able to get two cowls out of just two skeins of DK weight yarn (one of each color) if you work at least one in the small size and switch your main color between projects.

The pattern includes one PDF file with both the written and the charted instructions.
