If you haven’t experienced the joy of knitting cowls and shawls with luscious fingering weight yarn, why not give it a try with this carefree design?
If you already know how much fun it can be, why not add beads to your next project? It’s fun to incorporate them with this easy bead placement technique.

There are three versions of the pattern. Each one will have a different effect, even though they are all the same basic pattern. Versions #1 and #2 are inspired by Fibonacci numbers. Version #3 is a simple bead placement option.

The orange & navy blue cowl is Zauberball Crazy! It works up in gorgeous stripes!

Not a bead fan? The spiral pattern makes it a fun and easy knit, without the beads, as well.
