The Moss Stitch Cowl is Now Available on Ravelry

The Moss Stitch Cowl!


 I just uploaded The Moss Stitch Cowl pattern for purchase here and on Ravelry! I've been putting this off for 2 years - why? I have no idea . . .
This pattern was designed for my beginner knitting class for their second project. I wanted them to knit something that was

A) Something fuctional but fashion forward.

B) Something that would help them to identify the difference between knits and purls.

C) Something that would have both moss stitch and stocking stitch.

D) Something that would introduce them to knitting with nice yarn at an affordable price point - because no matter what your level of knitting (beginner to expert) you deserve to have decent yarn that doesn't make your skin crawl while you are knitting it. And yes, it does exist at all different price points! :)

It's a basic moss & stocking stitch cowl made from luxurious baby alpaca. The pattern includes instructions for working flat and in the round so when my students decided to tackle working in the round they already had a pattern that they were familiar with. It only takes one skein of yarn and a few hours of time to make. This cowl will be an instant hit in anyone's wardrobe. Enjoy!
