This cowl/neck warmer is an easy stranded colourwork pattern knit in worsted weight yarn and is fast and fun to make (as well as being super warm and practical!). This pattern can be knit in any of your favourite two contrasting colours. The cowl is knit in the round using circular needles and includes two colour stranded colourwork. This pattern does not require the knitter to twist floats in their work. It is suitable for beginners and knitters who are new to knitting colourwork as well as more experienced knitters who would like a fast, relaxing knit.

This pattern was first created for teaching an introduction to colourwork knitting workshop at Anna & Juan`s Studio in Zürich.
