Brixel Cowl

***UPDATE: there is now a new version of this cowl available that uses six mini skeins instead of just five! Both files will be available for download upon purchase.*** Have you ever heard of brixel art? It's pixelated artwork on BRICKS - and that's what this piece reminds me of! Designed specifically for using a set of mini skeins, this is a *small* cowl, but I've included guidance in the pattern for modifying the size so you can use any yarn you like, including a self-striping yarn for even easier colorwork! PS: there's a [matching hat pattern][1]! Use coupon code Brixilation to save 20% when you buy both patterns together!
