Color Me Mine
Color Me Mine is a fun to knit garter stitch cowl with a touch of lace, short rows and a pop of color. The cowl is knitted widthwise and the edges are joined by Kitchener stitch at the end. Using the same basic pattern you can make this cowl your own by choosing how many colors to use and when to use them. One pattern gives you endless possibilities to explore and knit. Pattern includes 3 options for you to knit. Color Me Mine makes a great and cozy accessory for the colder days of the year.
