The Patterns:

Berries, Leaves, and Vines by Michael Harrigan

The cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up, and as only two colors are used in any round, it makes for a relatively simple, yet interesting project.

Height: 9¼”/23 cm

Materials:

• 3 skeins of Miss Babs Yummy 2-Ply Toes (1 skein each in 3 colors)

Floral Fade by Stephanie Lotven

Worked in a gradient of mini-skeins, this little cowl is a delightful project for color-play. This pattern includes simple instructions to help you transition from one lovely miniskein to the next.

Size: Neck Opening: 20”/50 cm Front Length: 20½”/51.5 cm Back Length: 8½”/21.5 cm

Materials:

Around the Blend by Jennifer Weissman

Around the Blend seamlessly combines three triangles to create an eye-catching scarf with bending ombre bands. This reversible design begins with just a few stitches and is knitted almost entirely in carefree garter stitch.

Note: This pattern calls for a DK-weight main color plus a fingering-weight gradient set for the blend bands. Two strands of the gradient colors will be held together to achieve DK weight.
