Drifting one into the other, colors gently shift throughout this generously sized yet lightweight cowl. Fingering weight yarn is held double for this color transition technique, which results in a quick and satisfying knit.
The color drift technique works best with yarns that are similar in saturation. Speckled and variegated yarns give the best effect. If using tonal yarns, try a gradient like Wonderland Yarns “Down the Rabbit Hole” or “Color Morph” series for best results.
