Beltway
Knitting through the seasons: summer calls for easy and portable. With Beltway cowl, start and stop at your leisure. Don’t be afraid of losing your place when the kiddos bulldoze your quiet time or an unexpected ring beckons an impromptu girls’ day out. Single loop, pinned like a tie, doubled over for extra texture, pulled through a figure eight (creating a feminine styled bow), or other imaginative techniques makes the Beltway cowl a must knit, huge hit!
The tech edited and test knit pattern includes written directions, charts, and a schematic.
