As the dark days of winter blossom into spring, it’s time to Brighten Up! This mystery cowl is the perfect
transitional piece for your wardrobe-- a light layer that will add color and flair to any outfit! If Lisa K. Ross' mystery wraps have intrigued you, but you’ve been looking for something faster or easier, this is the MKAL for you! 

Although Lisa designed the cowl in a different yarn, we selected Crave Yarn Caravan for our kit.  Caravan is a light sport weight and will meet the gauge for this project.

PATTERN DETAILS

Construction
This bandana-style cowl is unlike any you’ve knit before. It’s full of bite-sized clues filled with stitches that are easy to work, though the unique construction will keep you guessing about what surprises are coming next. The design was created to highlight five colors of solid or semi-solid yarn that gradually transition from dark to light.

Suggested Needles
US 4 (3.5mm) needles, or as required to meet gauge: 40”/100cm circular (or similar length) AND double-pointed or preferred needles for small circumference knitting (NOTE: scrap yarn or a spare set of needles will also be used for putting stitches on hold)

Gauge (Blocked)
22 sts and 40 rows = 4”/10cm in garter stitch after blocking (NOTE: Gauge is not crucial, but it will affect finished dimensions and yardage)
