RHINEBECK FOMO IS BACK!
Come and join us for the 6th annual mystery knit-along - No Rhinebeck? No Problem!

For 5 years now I have been running a knit-along here for those of us who are not attending Rhinebeck and feel a bit left out. Is that you? If so, come and join us for a quick and fun cowl knit-along!

What it is not!
This cowl (we always knit a cowl) does not have colorwork, brioche, lace, short rows or cables. That’s it - the rest is mystery!

YARN
You will need two colors of worsted or light Aran weight yarn: 170 yards of main color (Color A) and 130 yards of contrast color (Color B). The pattern looks best in high contrast, but low contrast options could work too! You could combine solid color with speckled or long-color repeat yarns as one of the colors. Of course, two high contrast solids is always a safe and classic choice too! Sky is the limit

Color A: 170 yards
Color B: 130 yards
