The cowl method is versatile, fun, very functional and the must have fashion accessory. I’ll bring stitch patterns and ideas to mix and match for a unique-to-you creation, you bring the yarn and needles and be ready for a fun and creative time!

Materials: approximately 100-150 yards worsted weight yarn. 16 or 24 inch circular needles in the size recommended for your chosen yarn.
