The new Darin cowl is a dreamy swish. It's colorful and so very comfortable to wear. It is the perfect cover for the season for sure and it feels so soft and warm.
If you love a pop of color and squishiness in your knits, you are absolutely going to love this one....
Your cowl is knitted top down, starting with an I-cord cast on in a single color that gets joined in the round with a self striping yarn. From there it is a simple knit with increases in 3 sections to grow to the bottom border which is done with the same single color as before but with a heavier weight that you started with. It's an easy breezy project to knit. Wearing it may just prompt you to create more than one....
