A knitting friend of mine saw my photo of a “visibly mended” park bench and pointed out the diamond pattern in the metalwork. I happened to be working on this accessory and was in need of a name - and that’s how it became Park Bench.

The pattern calls for two colorways of Miss Babs KAWEAH: Floyd and Apple Season. You’ll need about half a skein of each for one cowl. If you wish you could knit a second cowl reversing the colors in the chart - and have one for yourself and one for a gift!

I used the remaining yarn to weave a two-color scarf on my rigid heddle loom, which you’ll see in one of the photos.

I love these colors and as always, love working with Miss Babs yarns.
