Crimson and Cream Slouchy Cowl Free Knitting Pattern \ Posh Pooch Designs

This Knitting Pattern has 

been on my Needles for While.

I Originally was going to release it with my

Christmas In July Patterns,

But it wasn't ready yet.

Crimson and Cream Slouchy Cowl 

is a Hood, a Hat, and a Cowl.

My Husband went on a Business trip to Europe.

He got me Yarns from Several places.

This Wool is from Norway

He is a good man who understands my needs.

Anyway, I was saving it for a special pattern.

And This it it.

although, any Worsted weight yarn will

 work great for this pattern.

It is basically stitched in stockinette with 

an eyelet row thrown in for a little fun.

This is a great pattern for a beginner,

 as well as a season knitter.

Works up fast, and makes a great gift.

I am also working up a crochet version.

So if you do not knit...don't panic.

Hoping to release the Slouchy Cowl Crochet Pattern

 in the coming weeks.
