Product Description
Ever find a colorway you just love? For me, it’s Spectrum By Mad Tosh. I love it. It speaks to me and I have it in almost every weight. I love designing with it (check out my Coming Home cowl pattern if you don’t believe me) and Death By Elocution was the perfect compliment to make things really stand out. This is a simple cowl knit in the round. Once you get the hang of the pattern, you can listen to a book or watch T.V. while knitting it. The colors are so fun to work with and make you eager to finish the project. I hope you enjoy this pattern as much as I enjoyed creating it!
This is worked in the round using one main color and a different color for the border. One skein of each color.
The size is easily adjustable.

What is Being Made
Pop! is a colorful knitted cowl designed by Marina Scott of Heartbun Knits and More.

The finished cowl measures 42 inches in circumference and 8.5 inches in height, making it a versatile neckwear piece suitable for various styling preferences.
Techniques and Construction
The Pop! cowl is knit in the round, a fundamental circular knitting technique that creates a seamless tubular fabric.
