A Trek is a journey or a trip, especially one with difficulty. It has been my experience, through working with many knitters, that one of the most difficult hurdles in knitting is understanding knitting patterns. It is my goal to create and write patterns that are easy to understand and enjoyable to knit for beginners and experienced knitters alike. This loosely knit cowl is a fast knit, perfect for beginners and advanced knitters for gifts, or stress free travel knitting. Knit in the round, with every other row being a knit only row allows knitters to enjoy a simple knit and still produce a lovely interesting pattern.
