The Lila Cowl is a worked in the round in a chevron pattern. It is just the right size to keep you warm and toasty while adding a pop of color to your winter wardrobe
Pattern Notes
The Lila Cowl is worked in the round. Choose whichever method of knitting in the round that is comfortable to you. Use scrap yarn for the provisional Co. There is no need to weave in ends when you change colors for the stripes. To change colors cut the working yarn leaving a 2" tail. Using a square knot, tie the new yarn color to the tail snugly behind your last worked st. You will work every color twice. Check your gauge. You run the risk of not having enough yarn to do the second set of stripes if your gauge is off.
