A 3D architectural pop of vertical lines make a bold yet refined statement on this unisex cowl pattern. Knit it along with the “Straight Up Hat” and you can straight-up match! (Couldn’t resist that one!)
This one-skein knit is simple, warm, quick, and gift-worthy.

The colors will zig-zag or create another pattern magically as you knit with a Colorburst. The one in the sample is knit in “Rainy Day Rainbow” on March Hare worsted weight yarn. You only need one skein.
See Colorburst yarn on our website.
