Skerrie Cowl by Daniella Taylor was our Knit-Along. 
 
This fun pattern is a kind of knitting sampler which consists of different stitches and patterns to create bands of texture and colour (or you can use one col- our throughout if you prefer).
Knitted in the round, there are five bands with a garter stitch band between each one. The colours change between each band as the texture changes. I recommend making the colour change in one of the rounds of the garter stitch band if you can; or simply start the new colour when the first runs out. I like to think that you are blending from one to another like a watercolour painting.
