Chunky Cowl With Bow - My First Knitting Pattern!

Chunky Cowl With Bow - 

My First Knitting Pattern!

I wasn't feeling very well last night, 

so I decided to sit down and knit.

I pulled out some knitting Needles 

that I have had forever.

 I am am not even sure where 

or when I got them!

US19-15mm and US10 -6mm

Then I pulled out some fun Bulky yarn 

I had on hand -

Whimsy Bulky By Yarn Bee - Lava Rocks

as well as, Some Worsted weight (4)

 Red Heart Love in Black

And This What I designed:

The Chunky Cowl With Bow

The cowl and the bow are both 

stitched in just the Garter Stitch,

 so this is a great beginner project,

 to practice your knit stitch and

 make something fun to wear.

I Love it.
