Here is a stash-busting, stocking stuffing, super cozy cowl to knit now for yourself and again in different shades for holiday giving—the perfect chill chaser for anyone on your list and a great teacher gift, too. Its intricate patterning and texture hold a little secret—in real life, it is extremely quick, easy, and entertaining to work in the round using two or three colors; it’s the perfect sideline knitting project, even the second and third time. Pattern includes instructions for two lengths and several color arrangements.
