Lakeway Cowl is knit in the round from the bottom-up using two different slip stitch patterns and two contrasting colors. Just one color is knitted per round. A sequence of rounds is worked and then repeated with the colors reversed.

You’re just knitting, purling or slipping stitches. Great fun for knitters new to colorwork or more experienced knitters looking for a relaxing project.
