Add colorwork to your knitter's bag of tricks with Brooklyn Tweed's First Colorwork Cowl. This friendly, introductory pattern incorporates easy combinations of both one-color and simple two-color stranded rounds. Colors alternate frequently, meaning catching floats is not necessary! Worked in worsted-weight yarn, this pattern makes for great colorwork practice and swift gift knitting. CONSTRUCTIONThe First Colorwork Cowl is worked in the round from top down. Increase rounds worked over the length of the cowl result in a gently flared shape that sits comfortably on the shoulders when worn.
