The Design

“Peek-a-boo!”

This cowl is doubly clever, doubly cozy, and doubly fun! Color-blocked and with splits on either end, this cuddly cowl offers a little peek-a-boo of contrasting color when worn. And the one-by-one ribbing is completely reversible, so you can choose which color you’d like to show off. Knit in a super-bulky yarn and on large needles, it’s a quick knit, too!

In fact, Madelinetosh A.S.A.P. promises that you’ll be binding off your Double Split Color-Blocked Cowl as soon as possible! This super soft, super-bulky, single-ply yarn is spun from 100% superwash merino wool that’s ethically sourced from Peru. It’s then hand-dyed in Texas, with all the brilliant color artistry for which Madelinetosh is known. Whether the variegations are subtly tonal, with gentle specks, or a little more lively, each skein of A.S.A.P. is a work of art.
