Yummy, yummy, yummy, first blueberries of the season!
Are you ready to take the next steps after learning the basics of stranded colorwork? This sweet little cowl, knit in yummy Silk Blend by Manos, has cute Latvian braid accents at the top and bottom and a few longer floats. Learn some new techniques while still keeping it simple with only two colors, so only four ends to weave in at the end. I’ll be wearing my cowl while I wait for the blueberries and dreaming of summer.
