Are you looking for the perfect place to use up your mini skeins? The Perfect Place cowl uses just 4 mini skeins! I bet you have 4 spare mini skeins on you right now. In your stash? In your knitting bag? In your purse? In your pockets? I have mini skeins coming out of my ears.

The Perfect Place cowl uses a combination of slipped stitches and simple textures to create a seriously fun knit. It’s so little and quick, that you’ll never get bored, and the color combinations are endless. It’s the perfect project for stash busting!

Worked SEAMLESSLY from the top down, it knits up quickly (like any good cowl should), but wears like a hassle-free shawl. Unlike traditional tube cowls that rumple into a pile of knitting around your neck, this shawl-shaped construction lets your knitting shine by creating a triangular front and shortened back. The shape is wonderful, wearable, and just plain fun to knit.

This Cowl Includes:

  • Top-Down, Seamless Construction
  • Shawl-Shaped Wearability
  • Charts & Schematic
  • Clear Written Instructions
