Brightside Cowl

$5.00

Brightside Cowl is an easy and fun accessory to knit. It’s worked flat like a scarf, working 2-row 2-color stripes, featuring a main color and 5 contrasting colors of bulky-weight yarn. At the end you pick up cast-on edge stitches and work the three needle bind-off to attach scarf ends together to make it a cowl. Video tutorials are provided for each technique used!

This is the PDF version of the pattern. After going through the checkout you will receive an email with a downloadable PDF link (of both this top as well as the cowl version). If you prefer to purchase through Ravelry, click here.
