Pattern Notes:
The Sloop, or Simple Loop, is a pattern designed to use up those single sock yarn skeins, or even half skeins that are too precious for socks, or just so yummy you need to wear it around your neck! It starts with a provisional cast-on, so you can go back and join the knitted tube seamlessly with Kitchener at the end. As for the knitting, it’s simple and mindless. Just knitting for days, and it shows off whatever gorgeous colors your skein contains! It could also serve as a blank canvas for whatever stitch patterns or embellishments you want to add! The sky is the limit! I love having one of these mindless cowls tucked into my knitting, and they make great gifts!
