Sketchbook, designed by Hilary Smith Callis from Valley Yarns Designer Series, is a striking cowl that is knit up in a flash in two colors of Berkshire Bulky. Sketchbook is designed to mimic the look of an asymmetrical triangular shawl wrapped around the neck. This cowl is a quick, easy project with a clever construction and a slip-stitch stripe pattern. This is a fabulous project for the adventurous beginner! This heftier yarn knits and crochets up quickly, it’s super soft and wonderful to work - not to mention fabulous for felting!
