Thank you, Joyce, for creating this wonderful color for the 2019 James River Yarn Crawl!
This is the pattern that I designed for Baa Baa Sheep, where I teach and sometimes work.

If you picked up the kit while visiting, please DM here on Ravelry and I will add the pattern to your library and thank you.

Do note that in the original print out, I have neglected to mention to change needle size after completing the seed stitch border and following knit round. This is now updated.

Neverita is named for my favorite shell, Neverita duplicata
or the Moon Shell which I sometimes collect while walking along the shore here in Norfolk, VA.

This funnel-shaped cowl was inspired by their egg casing, a curious find sometimes referred to as a sand collar.
