Polka Dot Sheep’s Stumptown DK is the perfect yarn for this project. It’s a super-soft, superwash merino yarn with great stitch definition and inspiring colors. All Polka Dot Sheep yarns are hand-dyed with love in Whitefish, Montana.

Kicking Horse is knit in the round and written for two lengths. The charming blend of garter stitch and mesh is easily memorized making this project great for social or travel knitting. I think you’ll enjoy knitting this cowl as much as wearing it.
