I love yarn and I knit with many different types of yarn. Once in a while I find a yarn that leaves me breathless and such is the case with Smitten DK from Why Knot Fibers. Smitten is 100% made in the mitten. I found it at the Wine and Wool Festival this past winter and snatched it right up! I wanted to use it for our trip to Texas. Lone Mitten? Texas is the Lone Star State and Michigan is the Mitten State so I combined the two for the name. Honestly I call it the Smitten Cowl all the time.

The cowl uses a combination of garter stitch along with an easy to remember stitch for a wonderful texture.
