This is a PDF knitting pattern.
This pattern is included for free with my workshop called Colorplay the Westknits Way: Marling. This online workshop is available to purchase on my website Westknits and you can watch it at any time at your own pace.
This marled cowl is a perfect stashbuster for your fingering weight yarns. Hold two strands throughout the entire cowl as you fade and melt your colors together. The cowl is knit in the round and then seamed together for an ultra warm and double thick fabric. The ribbed sections are shaped to form a colorful hooded effect to keep your ears and head warm.
Instructions include tips on marling and how to get a beautifully blended fabric. Dive into your stash and melt colors together for this beginner friendly cowl.
