Candy Cowl
Do you find yourself in the Fire Swamp of last minute crafting? Maybe due to procrastination or an innate ability to have a perpetual positive outlook on your ability to bend the space time continuum?
Fret not, here is one of six patterns that can help you out of that sticky situation of needing a last minute hand made gift. Something cozy and warm, stylish and modern, infinitely wearable and lightning fast to knit up!
Candy Cowl is a fun and quick to knit cowl, that really lets you play up the colors in handpainted yarn, or play it down in muted colors as you see fit.
The slip stitch pattern is easy but keeps your interest with just enough patterning
to not feel boring, yet simple enough to work on at knit night.
With 2 skeins of the Water Green and 1 skein Cactus Flower you can make all three, the Candy Cowl, Candy Hat and the Headband!
The pattern reminds me of those old fashioned pillow shaped hard candies with colorful stripes.
