This easy cowl is a great introduction to both color work and knitting in the round. With only 13 rounds where 2 colors are used together, this little cowl will build your confidence to tackle harder color work projects. Choose the smallest size for a close fitting cowl that knits fast or choose the largest size for a more relaxed cowl that still knits fast! 2 skeins of the Studio Donegal Chunky will yield 1 small and 1 large cowl or a mix of the smaller sizes.

This pattern is meant for a beginning to advanced knitter and all those in-between.
