Inspired by vintage wallpaper, this cowl takes cues from over-the-top colorful interior design trends of the ‘60s and ‘70s and transforms them into a luxurious neck warmer. Stacked stitches and stripes create a geometric colorwork motif to will keep you interested and amazed as the colors come together.

This pattern contains a coloring page so that you can try out different color combinations before purchasing yarn.

I have a YouTube playlist showing the how to do stacked stitches. It is helpful to watch this before trying the pattern.
