It seems that I’ve designed quite a few cowls this winter season – and this will be the final one! I had some yarns from Miss Babs and felt I really should make something with them – and there was more than enough in the small skeins (called Yummy 2-Ply Toes) to make this neckwarmer and still have some left over. The colors were subtle and the contrasts not strong – so a simple name would do: Something Subtle. This follows on from Something Festive, which I designed earlier, and specifically for the holidays.

I used a 24”/60cm circular needle.

The colorways I recommend (and used in the pattern) are:
1 skein in each of 4 colors: Bachelor Buttons (Color A); Krill (a variegated colorway) (Color B); Aludra (Color C); and Awaken (Color D)
