Found one skein of design yarn in a bargain shelf, all lonely and in disarray. I rescued it.

A glamorous and warm hat / cowl set for somebody:
Plentiful Cowl

I’ve used this yarn before for a sweater.
I love it.
It’s not impossible to undo stitches if you need to.
Takes a little patience.

Crochet Lesson for the day
Often design instructs to work a front loop, back loop or horizontal bar of hdc.
For more stable side edges, work the first and last stitches of the row into both loops of the stitch. In the case of the hdc, work the horiz bar and the front loop of the hdc in the worked row.

This technique makes it easier to pick up stitches later for a subsequent section of the design.
