We had the double layer of this cowl as a kit for a few years and it did well. Then one day a customer asked if there was a pattern for a single layer version and there was.
We used Nature Spun Sport for the background color and Malabrigo Arroyo in Volcan (deep orange) or Archangel (pinky) for the pattern. We haven't knit up a sample with the Archangel, but before we made the kit several customers chose it.
The kit contains enough yarn (full skeins) to knit one cowl and the pattern.
Needles (not included in the kit): 16" circular size 5.
