Description: Ready to put your new knitting skills to work? This cozy cowl will stealthily teach you how to work in the round and how to follow both a written and a charted pattern, all while you explore the basic elements of lace: yarnovers, and right- and left-leaning decreases. Bonus: You’ll end up with a snuggly accessory to warm yourself or someone you love.
