I can honestly say I would never have survived high school without Melissa Hall. Always prepared for any situation with a shoulder to cry on, a bad “that’s what she said” joke, or some crazy scheme, Melissa can always be counted on for fun, cheering up, or some good old fashioned knitting time. Yes, folks, you heard that right, she even let me teach her how to knit. With this simple double wrap cowl I wanted to embrace that essence of Me- liss: fun, simple, and always dependable. This pattern knits up in a breeze, with a fun but easily memorizable stitch pattern and will soon become a favorite to knit for a last minute gift for that girl who’s always there.
