To alight is to settle down in a delicate or gentle manner, and is a perfect way to describe sitting down to enjoy a bit of knitting. There is just something so wonderfully satisfying and calming about settling into a cozy spot to enjoy the sense of peace that knitting so often brings.

For those of us whose opportunity to alight to a quiet corner for some well-deserved knitting time is all too few and far between, the Alight Cowl is a simple pattern that yields a beautiful and functional result. It is designed to be worn close to the neck — perfect for snuggling down into on those blustery winter days ‒ and knits up quickly to take full advantage of our knitting time, especially on those all too frequent occasions when it is limited.
