Sometimes January can bring on the blues--
and you go into a slump after all the festivities
of the holidays
Not when you are planning new knitting adventures!
Find at Ravelry!

- Stitches Used: Most stitches are based on knits and purls with some variation to challenge you (nothing super hard!). There are videos for stitches that can benefit from further explanation.

Materials Needed:
Yarn: Fingering weight yarn, 400 y (366 m).
This cowl has been tested with single ply & plied fingering weight. The cowl will look best in solid, soft tonal or gentle gradient yarns. Variegated, self-stripe or speckled yarns will hide the beauty of your creation. Lace weight yarn held doubled may be a bit of a challenge. Using multiple colors of yarns or scraps may compete with the stitches in the cowl.
