DESCRIPTION
LITTLE THINGS COWL is knit top down and in the round with twisted ribbing at the top and bottom. Different colors alternate throughout the cowl while elongated stitches reach into the previous color. Little twists of stitches create texture and make for an engaging knit! Three sizes are provided utilizing differing amounts of mini skeins and creating endless possibilities.
