This cowl pattern is in a book my daughter gave me for Christmas. She also gave me the variegated yarn. It was a freebie, but she had no use for it. The blue is Brown Sheep, one of my favorite yarns. After knitting on size one needles for the past few weeks, I needed to work on something with big needles. This pattern calls for DK and size six needles. I had worsted so I used size eight. I considered size nine needles, but they weren’t handy at the time. I had a shawl over my feet and a kitty in my lap keeping me warm. I really did not want to get up.
And here is the book she gave me. I’m also considering the medallion pull-over. There is also a hat, another cowl, sweater, vest and baby jacket that I like.
