Stranded knitting is great for projects when the weather is cold because the yarn carried at the back makes a double thickness in the fabric.
The Thabo Cowl from Noma Ndlovu uses a band of stranded knitting to make a bold statement that also adds a bit of warmth.
The cowl is worked in one piece in the round with three colors of DK weight yarn (you could use worsted and make a slightly bigger cowl if that’s what you have on hand). The finished cowl is 10.5 inches tall and 24 inches around, perfect for tucking into your coat on cold days or for a colorful statement indoors.
The pattern is available on Ravelry for $5.50.
