Watercolor Cowl

[Modern Daily Knitting Field Guide No. 16: Painterly is full of Kaffe Fassett's genius Intarsia designs knitted up in a beloved yarn.][2] Geometric patterns are well suited to intarsia. Once you’ve done a few repeats, you will discover that you don’t need to follow the chart too much. The rhythm of the pattern and colors sets in, and you discover that a project like this Watercolor Cowl makes for excellent TV knitting. It’s a simple rectangle to knit. A single seam changes the rectangle into a cowl with a point, for a jaunty kerchief vibe. And an I-cord edge gives a nice finish, a frame for the fabric and your face.
