Pre-retirement…. January 2027, my cowl and sock patterns will no longer be available on line. Thank YOU, Marilynn

Just like our ever changing Spring weather, the Spring Twist Cowl, comes with a twist! Once the stitches are cast on,give the stitches a good sturdy twist, and join together by knitting first stitch.
