Along the Thames is a simple stranded colour-work cowl knit in the round. Written in two sizes, it is easily customized by adjusting the number of stitches cast on and the number of rounds knit.

The cowl uses 2 contrasting colors of Nua Sport and starts with a special cast on creating a minimal contrast edge followed by ribbing, a simple color-work section, top ribbing and a similarly minimal contrast bind off. Special, but easy instructions are given for the cast on and bind off edges. The color-work is charted only but is suitable for the novice stranded color-work knitter with no long floats.
