Introducing a beautifully crafted two-color cowl, designed to be worked as a long tube for ultimate warmth and style. This pattern begins with a provisional cast-on and is expertly knitted in the round using a two-color stranded stockinette technique. At the end of your project, you'll cleverly graft the live stitches to the stitches released from the provisional cast-on, creating a seamless finish.

The approximate measurements of this cowl are 80 inches around and 10 inches deep, making it perfect for draping comfortably around your neck. Although exact gauge isn't crucial for this non-fitted garment, achieving a close match to the stated gauge will enhance the overall effect of your finished piece. Keep in mind that the gauge provided is after blocking, so block your work for the best results.

For this project, you'll need any fingering weight smooth wool or a wool blend, requiring approximately 900 yards of each color. I particularly recommend using Elsa Wool Company Woolen-Spun Fingering Weight Cormo: 2 skeins in a lovely cream shade for the background and 2 skeins in medium grey for the foreground. When selecting your yarns, it’s essential to achieve enough contrast between the two colors for eye-catching visual impact. Opt for solid or heathered colors to bring out the beauty of this design; avoid variegated colorways to maintain the clarity of your pattern.

Embrace the art of knitting with this elegant cowl pattern, perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters looking to enhance their skills. Create a stunning accessory that will not only keep you warm but will also be a stylish addition to any outfit. Download your pattern today and start your knitting adventure!
