Mill Creek Cowl
Mill Creek Cowl is perfect for a quick and easy gift wearable in any season. It is an excellent stashbusting project for leftover sock yarn, as it uses up about 250 yards of yarn. Make it wider by adding additional repeats of the 10-stitch lace pattern, shorten or lengthen it as needed, depending on what you have in stash. For more variety, turn it inside-out. Like most good lace stitch patterns, this one looks pretty on the wrong side too!
