Flannel Crush Cowl

Construction

The Flannel Crush cowl is worked flat beginning at one corner, shaped with increases and decreases, and seamed after blocking. The cowl features an allover mosaic pattern, built-in I-Cord edges and an I-Cord bind off.

1 braid 

(one 4 oz / 114 g braid, split in half, spun end-to-end and plied together, resulted in a 114 g skein with 460 yds / 421 m)

To substitute the Contrast Color yarn used here, I recommend using a sport weight yarn with marling or color transitions to create an effect similar to handspun.
