Isn’t it amazing what can be done with one little skein of sock yarn? Light, gentle and easy on the hands, sock yarn works for everything from sweaters to gossamer shawls. And let’s face it…there are those skeins that are too pretty to bury beneath pants and shoes. They need to be seen, front and center. If you’ve got an interesting skein kicking around, this is your chance! Here’s a simple, quick cowl with a lacy stitch pattern. It’s fun to knit with self-striping yarn but would be equally pretty in a solid or tonal.

The perfect first-time lace project, WIND IN THE WHEAT keeps you cozy and warm outdoors during the early days of autumn but is light enough to wear indoors all day. Choose your favorite sock yarn and add a touch of color to winter outfits.
