The Minty Eyelets Cowl is a luxurious knitted cowl worked up in super soft baby yarn, which feels amazing against the neck. This is a great project for beginner knitters, using just basic knit stitches and simple increases and decreases to create the decorative eyelets. Self striping yarn creates a lovely color block effect, doing all of the color work for you too!
Note: This pattern includes both a DK weight version and a worsted weight version.
