Now that we are past the stress and love of Thanksgiving or Harvest (whichever you prefer to recognize), it’s time for the stress and love of Christmas. Some of us do extremely well under this type of pressure. The ability to get things done where I would usually procrastinate is unmatched!
As you may know, in my last post, I shared one of my favorite go-to hat tutorials. I love it because of how quick it works up, especially when using a chunky yarn. For this post we’re going to follow that same thread (haha, see what I did there), and make another quick project that you can gift for the holiday.
This pattern is for a ribbed cowl. Cowls are great gifts universally meaning, women, children, babies, and men can use them. I always make them for my kids. Especially when they are young because the thought of an open scarf made me a little nervous on the kiddies. I felt secure knowing a wouldn’t get stuck in a door or grabbed by another child while playing.
