Description
A fun, easy-to-work slip-stitch pattern that gives a luxuriously thick fabric that looks fantastic on both sides. Even better, the pattern only requires working with one colour at a time, so no experience with colourwork is needed. The pattern is 18 pages and includes many photographs and diagrams to clarify the instructions and a photo tutorial.

The scarf pattern is written for adventurous beginners who know the basics (i.e., how to cast on, bind off, knit, purl and darn in ends), and would like learn how to use slip-stitches to create a fancy colour pattern. As such, the pattern includes a detailed, step-by-step photo tutorial explaining how to work each row.

The cowl pattern is written for intermediate knitters, and assumes knitters are familiar with slip-stitches and know how to work in the round.
