Crawley
SPREAD the LOVE I’m feeling the winter doldrums and want to spread a little cheer and love. 50% off all my patterns!!
Crawley is a two-color cowl knit in the round. It is a great way to experiment with color. Mix it up with bright pairings of contrasting colors, go sedate with two different shades of the same color or even knit it all in one color. You can get many different looks just by playing with the colors.
With both charts and written instructions, knitters are able to choose the most comfortable way to follow the pattern.
