Knitting isn’t just an art form, it’s practical magic! Take this cowl, for example. With just a few waves of my knitting wands, an unlikely pair of hand-dyed yarns were magically transformed into an eye-catching cowl! If you decide to conjure one up for yourself, beware the dark arts!
These yarns have been known to cast a spell of enchantment, mesmerizing the knitter with their delightful colours and textures. Add a relaxing, rhythmic pattern and you may become unable—or unwilling—to put this project down! Consider yourself warned ;)

Please read note below regarding yarn substitution.

One 24” (60 cm) circular needle size US 3 (3.25 mm).
One 24” (60 cm) circular needle size US 6 (4.0 mm).
GAUGE
36 stitches / 36 rows = 4” (10 cm) in Corrugated Ribbing.
32 stitches / 31 rounds = 4” (10 cm) in Stranded Colour Work Pattern.
A NOTE ON YARN SUBSTITUTION
If substituting colours, I recommend choosing a MC & CC that are very different in value (ie. one very light or bright + one very dark), otherwise the colours may become muddled. Because this is stranded knitting—MC & CC stitches alternate—colour contrast is also important; be sure your yarns don’t share too many colours in common.
