Painter’s Garden CowlThis festive cowl, combining floral motifs and granny stitch, is a quick project you can whip up in a weekend. The motif in this cowl was designed to work with the color sequences in the yarn so that a different color is dominant in each round, meaning you never have to cut your yarn or change colors! As you crochet, the self-striping yarn does all the colorwork for you. Each motif will be a little different, and that’s the magic – with this pattern you are sure to create your own unique accessory.
