Are you looking for a stunning knit that you can simply relax into? I’ve got you covered!

Canyon River is a fantastic cowl knit in the round with a mix of slipped stitches to create a fantastic, yet simple-to-knit pattern. Use one of 3 easy joins and then throw it on and go without ever worrying if the “wrong side” is showing.

Use 2, 3, 4, or 6 colors around or use up all your scraps! If the colors choice makes you wary, grab a kit like I did or check out this blog post to arm yourself with a bit of color theory to give you color confidence.
