In living color, a new cowlcho (cowl/poncho) super that's fun and easy to knit. It certainly has a great effect with literally explosions of colors in a variegated, striped look.

This oversized, happy looking accessory starts out with a Picot cast on and a greatly textured boucle yarn. After you join the picot edge in the round, you enjoy easy and relaxing rib patterns which get smaller upwards to the top neckline.  The bind off is done with both yarns held together and gives a lovely final touch. 

You will absolutely love wearing this one! Unbelievably soft and richly colored to make your day~ 

The knit kits include

• A wound cake, filled with glorious colors in a self striping, variegated aran weight yarn. 162 yards/100 grams per cake in a 100% really luxurious acrylic, super soft and washable. I don't usually do much in acrylic, but this one I do like.
