Our first turkey day class of 2018 is a gorgeous cowl named after the star Algieba, commonly known as Leo. It’s the perfect project for all who love a bit of instant gratification mixed with a touch of luxury. At first glance the yardage may seem high for this pattern. This is because three strands are held together to help create a squishy warm fabric that is quick to knit.
