’Twas merely weeks before Christmas, and all through the house a woman was pacing and tearing her blouse.
The stash was pulled out of the bin with great care, in hopes that an answer would be found deep in there.
The needles were yanked from their holder of red, while quick-knit projects danced in her head.
The woman in her lace shawl had cowl ideas in a snap, and settled SweetGeorgia Yarn balls all in her lap.
With mind-blowing speed did her needles click-clatter, she knit like a maniac until the hours didn’t matter.
With worsted and chunky, the cowls grew in a flash, She whipped them all out and cleared out her stash.
The glint on the yarn from the overhead light,
gave a lustre of depth to the stitches at night.
When what to her wondering eyes did appear, but three finished cowls and a joyfully glad tear.
With a little warm yarn, so lofty and thick,
three gifts came to be, blissfully quick.

One skein of bulky weight yarn and a delectably easy cable pattern are the only ingredients needed for a squishy, soft cowl that everyone will love. Worked up in the blink of an eye, this easy accessory is a must for the weekend knit.
