A simple, crochet cowl that highlights color changes in striped and gradient yarns. Wear it long or wrapped short for warmth against the winter chill.

The color movement is accomplished without using short rows or slipped stitches. Different yarns will produce different effects.

Worked flat with the short ends seamed, this pattern is written only. Instructions are included for two different gauges and finished circumferences.
