Notes:

This design was originally thought up by Crochet designer Sarah Korth. She designed a pattern that introduced crocheters to a beautiful and accessible colorwork project. She reached out to me to help turn it into a knitting pattern as well. It’s a simple shape, with a simple and stunning colorwork pattern to help hone your stranded crocheting OR knitting skills.

Instructions for the Colorwork Pattern are both charted and written.

Two charts have been provided.
-Chart A should be used if you’ve chosen a light color for your MC, and a dark color for your CC
-Chart B should be used if you’ve chosen a dark color for your MC, and a light color for your CC

The cowl is knit in the round.
