We all scream for ice cream! I took the colors and shapes of one of my favorite ice cream flavors (Ben & Jerry’s-Chunky Monkey) and translated them into a cozy cowl. Deliciously squishy chunky wool works up fast to make this cowl a quick and satisfying knit. The Munky Cowl is chock full of bananas and bobbly walnuts on a fudgey backdrop and will keep your neck toasty and happy for years to come!

Miss Babs K2 (100% Merino; 240 yds 219 m/8 oz 225 g): Bittersweet Chocolate (A), Cumin (B), Honeycake (C) and Coastal (D); 1 skein each.

Gauge
15 sts & 18 rows = 4” (10 cm) in charted stockinette colorwork.
Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain gauge.

Notes
This design uses 4 colors, making the possibilities for color substitution easy and endless. The approx yardage used per color is as follows:
Color A - 150 yds (137 m)
Color B - 70 yds (64 m)
Color C - 30 yds (27 m)
Color D - 35 yds (32 m)

Customize the length by working more repeats of the chart than is written in the pattern. Customize the width by changing the CO number, keeping it as a multiple of 6 sts.
