KNITwords Cowl

Description

A worsted weight, charted cowl in 2 lengths with the words KNIT, PURL and YARN.

Probably the most wearable of any of the knitting projects, this cowl is also the easiest pattern in the eBook to knit. Throw it on over a shirt, a jacket or even your pajamas and out the door you go, even if you’re just making a quick trip to the drive thru. And you’d really make a statement while wearing this
to your next knitting related festival, retreat, or event. It’ll keep you warm and stylish, while giving you a little hug around your neck. Knit completely in the round, these stitches stack upon one another to form words that make it easy to knit.
