After creating the Brickknitter Socks, I thought the design would translate into a cowl really well, and I was right! This is the perfect opportunity to dig into your stash of mini skeins or leftovers and find a bunch of fun colors to use.

The circumference of the cowl is highly adaptable – just knit more or fewer sections to create the perfect length. And the pattern is easily memorizable, which makes this a relaxing project to work on while watching your favorite shows.
