Seismic shifts. They happen all the time here in Northern California. The earth is always shifting, moving, changing.. and sometimes things just end up a little bit shaky, but there’s inspiration in it all.

The Seismic Shift cowl is worked in the round with a shifting motif that keeps the knitting fun and engaging, but easy enough for an advanced beginner with a super easy bobble technique, including some tips and tricks on how to make them the best they can look. (And you can use the techniques on any bobble pattern to really polish the look!) If you’ve never knit bobbles, or it’s a technique that feels impossible, look no further!
