Color Theory Cowl Pattern

This pattern is great for using up a few odd skeins leftover from a big project. For an advanced knitter it is a weekend project, and for a beginner, it is a simple introduction to increasing and decreasing.
 

The Color Theory Cowl was knit with 2 contrasting skeins of Noro Kureyon in shades 102 and 172 I recommend using a self striping yarn they make the pattern more interesting and inspired the name "color theory cowl."

Gauge on size 10 needles - 15 stitches and 23 rows in a 4" x 4" square. Gauge is not terribly important for this pattern.

Finished garment is 12" tall and 28" in diameter

Using your favorite provisional cast on method, cast on 60 stitches

Row 1: knit to end
Row 2: k2tog k3 p52 k2 inc1 k1

Repeat these two rows while alternating colors every four rows.

When you reach the diameter that you want (I continued until I ran out of yarn) connect the two ends using the kitchener stitch as shown below.





When you finish, put your pictures on Ravelry
