Andrea Mowry has created another instant classic there with the Night & Day cowl. The magic of simple slipped stitches and clever shaping come together to make a one-of-a-kind cowl that is just as fun to knit as it is to wear! This cowl is worked flat on the bias, and then seamed.
Pattern sold seperately either on Andrea's website or Ravelry.

SUGGESTED YARN
For this cowl I chose a squishy, woolen-spun, DK weight yarn in high contrasting colors. The woolly nature of this yarn blocks out beautifully with this stitch pattern and is very cozy and warm.
