SHAWL-SHAPED COWLS are my FAVORITE ACCESSORY! Worked SEAMLESSLY from the top down, it knits up quickly (like any good cowl should), but wears like a hassle-free shawl. Unlike traditional tube cowls that rumple into a pile of knitting around your neck, this shawl-shaped construction lets your knitting shine by creating a triangular front and shortened back. The shape is wonderful, wearable, and just plain fun to knit.

These patterns were designed specifically for self-striping yarn. They also work great with mini-skeins and fades! Need more ideas? Check out my book: Knit Happy with Self-Striping Yarn.

I love the holidays! Here are my designs inspired by Halloween, Christmas, & Valentines!
