I designed the Zigzag Cowl and Mittens patterns for the Erika Knight yarn collection in 2012. Erika liked my previously released Zig Zag hat and asked me if I would like to design a matching cowl and mittens to help promote the yarn. The pattern was first released in print in the US, UK and Europe. The yarn is super smooshy and warm and lends itself well to the Zigzag pattern and accessories.

The 2022 update of all three patterns now includes instructions to make the accessories flat on two needles, as well as the original instructions to work in the round.
