Heart Warmer Cowl

required skills:

• casting on in the round
• working knits and purls in the round

While it may not be the time of year to be thinking about something woolly for around the neck, this cowl is a great small project to work away at if you're wanting to explore some new varieties of texture in your knitting.  This pattern has it all - lace, bobbles, smocked stitches... a bit of everything.  No boredom working through this one!

what the class teaches:

• how to work different stitch patterns in the cowl
• how to read lace charts

homework
