Tricolor Knit Cowl

Tricolor Knit Cowl

If you want to learn how to knit step by step a fashionable and fun cowl, try your hand at the Tricolor Knit Cowl. This exciting pattern uses three different kinds of gold-spotted yarn for a cool, checkerboard-like result. Its chunky design will keep you toasty in the cold, snowy weather without having to fuss with a long scarf, and the bits of gold give an elegant edge to the cowl. Try pairing it with a sweater dress or red cardigan for a striking, yet comfortable, look.
