I love this color. I didn’t know what I wanted to create with it, but I got the yarn just because of the color. I put this yarn on a table that I often walked by and got ideas every time I saw it. At first I considered a stitch pattern with bobbles, then I added some lace to the bobbles—these two textures are often together in my designs. To show the beautiful stitch pattern and resulting wavy edge, this cowl is not a closed tube but knitted flat and seamed halfway.
