Arca Cowl

Love colorwork? The Arca Cowl is a fun, modern way to explore it! Using linen stitch as a base and switching colors every two rounds, this design creates a beautifully structured pattern that shines in both solid and variegated yarns.

The pattern includes two variations: a two-color cowl with a clean, chain-like edging and a three-color version featuring ribbed edgings for added structure. These finishing options ensure efficient yarn use, leaving minimal leftovers. If you prefer ribbing on the two-color cowl, additional instructions are included.

Two-color option: 26’’ (66 cm) in circumference, 12’’ (30.5 cm) tall
