  • This is a PDF knitting pattern.

    This marled cowl is a fun and easy pattern to use your leftover bits of fingering weight yarn. Hold two colors together throughout the cowl to melt and blend your colors. Simple stockinette stitch is knitted in the round with little brioche breaks between each section. This cowl is knitted in the round and then seamed together at the end for an infinity scarf shape. You can knit this cowl as long as you want by stopping early with fewer stripes or knit more stripes for a larger circumference. Dive into your stash and have fun playing with colors!

    Pattern Notes
    In two-color brioche stitch, two rounds are worked for each counted round that appears on the face of the fabric. The first color is worked around and then the round is worked again using the second color. The next round is worked the same way, once around with the first color and worked again with the second color. When counting rounds, count only the stitches going up on a knit column. 2 worked rounds = 1 counted round.

    When you put down your knitting and forget which color you just used and which color to use next, look at the color of the yo in the row just worked. That is the last color you used.
