Double Split Color-Blocked Cowl Pattern

“Peek-a-boo!”

• about the DESIGN

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!
