The Spike Striped Cowl is made with DK (light weight 3) or worsted weight (size 4) self-striping yarn. The beautiful texture is created with single crochet and single crochet spike stitch. The finished cowl simply pops over your head and gathers gently around your neck for a cozy, on trend look. Premier DK Colors yarn is shown here, but any self-striping yarn with long color runs will give the same effect. The finished cowl will measure approximately 12 ½” wide (25” around) and 10“ high.
