This cosy cowl is designed to be a good introduction to stranded colourwork, as it is worked in the round with no faff. Alternatively for those more used to colourwork, this is a nice relaxing knit. There is so much scope for playing with colours here - as well as making a two-colour version you could put in other contrast colours, or even use different ones all the way through. In the pattern, the top and bottom hems use the two different colours as this means that both 50g balls of Milburn 4ply are completely used up.
