Part of the comforting cowls collection - which is still at the introductory price of just 3 euros for the whole collection (usual price of a single pattern).

All the knits in the collection are designed to be soothing and help use up stash.

This one is particularly soothing as it’s mostly just knit stitches with a few purl and slipped stitches thrown in for interest.

  • works well with a striping or variegated yarn used as the contrast yarn.
  • you only need about 150m of main colour and 50m of contrast.

Stitch counts for fingering - worsted weight (16, 18 or 20 sts )

Instructions are written and charted - so you can choose what you like best - 3 edging options are provided: rib, seed stitch, and stockinette turned under and stitched in place.
