We Love, Love, Love this cowl. It's a challenge, but a beautiful finished product. We have kits available, or make up your own. You want a strong contrasting yarn for the solid (don't even think of matching a color in the main color). Our kits include the cost of the pattern which we will download into your Ravelry account, but you can buy it yourself if you want to pick your own colors. (The link to the pattern is on our sign up page)
