This is the fourth item from the Three Skein Project

I love to watch slalom skiing. Watching the skiers as they zig and zag down the slopes, avoiding the flags, refusing to give in to gravity and arriving triumphant at the bottom of the slope.

The way this simple lace stitch moved the colours into bright zigzags made the name come to mind.

Shown here in the smallest length recommended (6 inches) this cowl could easily be made longer, depending upon the yardage available.

If trying to work all of the patterns in the Three Skein Project, you may choose to make a longer cowl and forgo the fingerless mitts. I chose to make fingerless mitts with my remaining yarn as I was trying to see just how far I could take the yarn.
