This design was inspired by my daughter’s little dancing feet. It doesn’t matter what music is playing, even just a jingle on a commercial on the radio, and she is bopping to the beat. The playful colorwork and simple design is sure to make your little one get into the dancing spirit!

This cowl is designed as a cozy fall accessory that can function as a giant, more accurate swatch for the upcoming Ticky Toes Sweater for adults. If you love this pattern, check out Ticky Little Toes, a sweater for kiddos!
