The Design

“Peek-a-boo!”

This cowl is doubly clever, doubly cozy, and doubly fun! Color-blocked and with splits on either end, this cuddly cowl offers a little peek-a-boo of contrasting color when worn. And the one-by-one ribbing is completely reversible, so you can choose which color you’d like to show off. Knit in a super-bulky yarn and on large needles, it’s a quick knit, too!

We designed the Double Split Color-Blocked Cowl to be knit in a cuddly, super-bulky-weight yarn, like Madelinetosh A.S.A.P. A beautiful, hand-dyed color palette brings even more fun to this smart piece!

This 2-page pattern includes:

• Color photography by Laura Gehring.
• Instructions for seaming, finishing, and blocking your piece.
