Éclaté Cowl

Complimentary colours and sweet looking bobbles make this cowl a stand-out accessory. A quick knit you can wear through so many seasons, you’ll be making numerous versions over many years.

The cowl is worked bottom up, in the round. Single-round stripes of colour with a bobble at the beginning of the round add a pop of colour.

Substitution Notes
Choose a soft worsted weight yarn; this is a superwash which is a great idea so it can be laundered easily. Use this pattern as a stash busting opportunity to use up those odds and ends of colour. Just imagine each stripe and bobble being a different colour.
