In person and ZOOM!
I love having patterns that I can return to time and again. Those special designs that work as a blank canvas so that you can add your own special touches - handspun yarn, stripes, fading, using up odds and ends to create ever-changing, unique knits. A pattern you can relax into as you knit it again and again. For me - that is the DRK Everyday Cowl, with its soothing garter stitch and polished slip stitches and I-cord edges. I’ve already knit 5 myself, and have no plans of stopping anytime soon!
This cowl is knit flat, on the bias, and seamed at the back neck to create a cowl that wears like a triangle shawl (with none of the fuss!) This pattern includes sizes for the whole family!
BONUS
As mentioned above, I’ve knit quite a few of these - including a couple faded versions. I thought it would be fun to include my fading notes, as a fun bonus for you in the pattern itself! I created my fades by diving into my stash for fingering weight yarn that I held double for a marled fade!
