A friend recently learned to knit, and after several washcloths, she needed to find that next project. The 3L (Life Long Learning) Sampler Cowl is a skill building pattern that uses basic stitch combinations and includes both written patterns and charts. And for the more experienced knitter, it’s a quick, textured project.
