Join us for the 5 annual No Rhinebeck? No problem! mystery knit-along! It’s that time of the year when the leaves turn yellow and your Insta feed is full of people showing off their Rhinebeck sweaters and talking about their plans. So if you feel a bit left out, this MKAL is for you!

MKAL CHAT THREAD come and share your yarn choices! https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/designs-by-sweaterfreak/4...

Let’s talk details!

As always, we will be knitting a cowl:) Since it’s a mystery and I don’t want to reveal too much, I will say what this cowl does NOT involve:

• no short rows
• no provisional cast on
• no lace
• no stranded colorwork
• no complicated techniques

It will, however, be a fun engaging knit with a modern and wearable result you can keep or gift away!

YARN
You will need two colors of DK or light worsted weight yarn: 200 yards of main color (MC) and 150 yards of contrast color (CC).

The pattern looks best in high contrast, but low contrast options could work too! You could combine solid MC with speckled or long-color repeat yarns as CC. Of course, two high contrast solids is always a safe and classic choice too!

MC: 200 yards
CC: 150 yards

Any DK/light worsted weight yarn that knits to gauge. Suggested yarns:

• madelinetosh DK Twist
• madelnetosh High Twist DK
• Cascade 220 Superwash
• Miss Babs Intrepid
• Miss Babs Yowza
