Rainbow Cowl

Last summer, I showed you a cowl that I knit of a self-striping yarn called Lionbrand Scarfie, using the Ups-and-Down Cowl pattern from Yarnspirations. (That’s a Ravelry link.) I liked it but the yarn wasn’t exactly what I had in mind when I was shopping. Of course, I found exactly what I’d been looking for after the first one was knitted up.

Here’s my second attempt at this pattern:

This one is knit of Caron Cakes in Rainbow Sprinkles. (That’s another Ravelry link, since MIchaels doesn’t have the yarn on their website anymore.)

I finished it up once at the specified length, but the ribbing wasn’t symmetrical – I wanted it all in the turquoise, framing the other colours in the cable pattern.

So, I frogged it back and reknit the last bit.

I didn’t shown it to you sooner because I was waiting on one last toggle – Fabricland had five but I needed six. I bought the sixth when they restocked and now it’s done!
