Find Your Flock is a squishy cowl that you’ll snuggle into when cold winds blow. Mosaic slip stitch patterning and worsted weight yarn give it lots of texture.

This design was created during the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, when most of us were unable to gather with friends. The pattern of interlocking triangles reminds me of a traditional patchwork quilt pattern called Flying Geese. So this pattern comes with my wish that you will find your flock, whether at your local yarn shop, in an on-line community, or at a large fiber festival when such events are once again possible. Life is so much richer when we are with people who share our passion for knitting!
