Friends of the Forest Cowl is not only a great stash busting project but also an intro into lace knitting patterns and nupps. Nupps are often referred to as the evil stitch Estonians have introduced to lace knitting. This pattern implements the basics of nupps while keeping it fun and not requiring any arm twisting p5tog decreases! If you can knit, purl, decrease and create yarn overs you’ll master this pattern in no time.

If you have the special one skein of yarn (baby goat, anyone?) that you have been holding onto - this is the pattern to use it for.
