Each kit is lovingly paired with an inspiring verb. I hope you are able to read them as “be gentle, and create” (I used the create kit), or “be gentle, and nurture”, or “be gentle, and unwind.”

Needles: 4.5mm / US 7
Yardage:
Cowl: ~420 yards of DK weight yarn, 210 yards of each color
Scarf: ~840 yards of DK weight yarn, 420 yards of each color

Final Sizes:
Cowl: Total loop circumference is 30”

I am delighted to share this repetitive, and soothing knitting pattern. A balance of garter, stockinette and some simple drop stitches make for a timeless scarf or cowl. Coming in two different sizes - this pattern makes for a perfect holiday gift.

Happy knitting.
