Knitting has been so helpful for reducing the anxiety and worry we are all experiencing right now.

I need something cheery, something fast and simple, yet not boring. I find my focus is not terrific and between juggling the needs of my family and working remotely from home, I need a project I can pick up and put down.

This bright cowl does the trick. If your local yarn store is closed, you can work it up with just 100 yards of two contrast yarns from your stash.

If you like the colors I chose, email my local yarn store Pick Up Every Stitch in Mt. Kisco NY ( PickUpEveryStitch@gmail.com ) and Felicia will ship you the luscious Clinton Hill Cashmere. Our local yarn stores need us to support them during this tough time. Or substitute the worsted yarn of your choice.

First copy of the pattern is missing a parenthesis on Row 1. It should read (Kfb K4, SSK, K2tog, K4, KFB) The pattern is a 14 stitch repeat.
