What to do with a skein of variegated yarn?

I love the look of simple and classic knitting and find they are typically my favourite items to not only knit but to wear. Add that the yarn is already so captivating just on it’s own in the skein and you will have a winning combination.

This pattern is super simple, great for beginners and wonderfully relaxing for those with more experience who just want something quick and easy.

The pattern includes two sizes, one for those who like a typical size cowl and one for those who like it to be a neck snuggler.

Either one knits up quickly. Gift knitting? Absolutely!
