Velvet Mirror Cowl
If I were to pick my favorite cowl style, it is definitely the Moebius cowl. It is perfect for colorwork projects because the floats are hidden inside, and it is so easy to style. Just pop it on to finish any outfit! I was craving the coziest cowl ever, so reached for some Qing Fibre Melted Suri for incredible softness and warmth and paired it with the color-shifting, moody beauty of Spincycle Yarns Nocturne.

ERRATA
On pg. 4 of the grafting instructions, Step 3 should read to slip 60 sts (instead of half of the sts) so that the colorwork motif lines up. Version 2 of the pattern has this corrected.
DETAILS
This cowl gets started with a provisional cast on and then is knit sideways as a tube. A half twist and some kitchener stitch to finish it off and you have an easy to wear, cozy-to-the-max cowl to pair with all of your cool weather outfits!
