Bubbles Cowl

Experience the beauty of nature right from your knitting project with our stunning color-changing cowl pattern inspired by the enchanting sunsets over the hill just west of my home. Watching the vibrant colors shift and contort as the sun dips below the horizon is a joy that can be mirrored in your knitting. Occasionally, I find myself mesmerized, catching after-images of the sun in unexpected places, and now you can bring a piece of that tranquility into your crafting.

This pattern utilizes two lace weight threads held together to achieve dynamic color changes. You’ll need a combination of yarns: a white cotton, two multicolored rayons, and a striking red acrylic. Unfortunately, these yarns may be discontinued, but I recommend using three skeins of fingering weight yarn (400 yds / 365 m each) for a cozy cowl. If you're inspired to create a longer scarf, simply add a repeat and plan for an additional skein of your main color. For this project, be sure to gather 8 stitch markers to help guide you through the process.

While gauge isn't a critical factor, you might want to aim for a fabric that drapes beautifully. The cowl is designed to be knitted in garter stitch, ensuring that it won't curl at the edges and offers a bit of extra thickness and warmth, perfect for any chilly evening.

Our detailed pattern includes both charts and row-by-row written instructions, catering to all knitting skill levels.
