Pollen, Ragweed, Grass…OH MY!! I have allergies all year round but this year was especially difficult because of the added stress of the Covid-19 virus. Every wheeze, every sneeze and every cough sent me running for my thermometer. I needed a little distraction and a little tongue in cheek mini skein set from Forbidden Fiber Co was just the thing. Each color way had a fun name that inspired the stitches that I used in this cowl. I designed and knit the hat to match for fun! You’ll get both of these patterns together.
