Strawberry Mountain is a quick and easy cowl with simple striping and colorwork that looks impressive but is really just slipped stitches and uses only one color per row!

It’s so much fun to work the colorwork in a gradient yarn and it’s also a great way to use up stash and leftover yarn. Be sure to use strongly contrasting colors and do swatch the colorwork to make sure you’re happy with the way your yarn works. Hint: You might even want to flip the colors for the mosaic and there are colorwork charts included for the reverse color option.

Choose between easy stockinette all the way or try working the contrast color in garter stitch (knit on both sides, which is even easier!) and watch the texture truly pop out on the colorwork.

Strawberry Mountain is worked on the bias from one end to the other, starting with just 6 stitches, and is only slightly asymmetrical. The I-Cord edges are worked as you go so there’s no finishing to do and the bind-off is also I-Cord.
