It Starts With a Seed Cowl
Be inspired by simplicity. One stitch at a time.
About as simple as you can get. This cowl takes our two basic stitches, knit and purl and repeats them endlessly in a spiral of fading colors. Choose your favorite yarn weight and cast on some squish. You’ll need to knit a few of these, as the stitch work is addictive and the opportunities to show off colors is endless. Faded striping lets the yarn do all the “hard work.” Though we recommend using a gorgeous yarn set from Yarn Over New York, we also encourage you to dive in to your stash and use up your leftovers for a great mix and match accessory.
