Join me on a yarnie road trip as we knit our Accidental Adventure cowls! Follow the map, or indulge in some detours; the choice is yours.
You can choose to knit this cowl with the recommended yarns and colorways for a retro 70s-inspired cowl with some cozy fall vibes, or experiment and come up with your own color palette.
With some math and creativity, you can change around, add, or subtract sections for a more customized journey.
DETAILS
Sizes: One size, but easily adjustable. Following the pattern exactly will produce a cowl that blocks out to 13” x 44”.
Yarn: The pattern is written for fingering weight yarns, but may also be knit up in sport weight for an extra squishy cowl. If you would like to knit this using DK weight, I recommend going up a needle size or two.

6 mini-skeins (CC1-CC6), each with 40 yards (total 240 yards)

Marianated Yarns, Marianette Gradient set.
