The first piece in this collection, a cowl, aims to exercise the most basic knitting skills. The combination of various stitch patterns and a self-striping yarn produce visual interest in a simple, but practical accessory.

Instructions are given in written abbreviated form.

L1 - the Cowl is part of the Einfach wiederholen ebook: a collection of patterns created specifically to aid teachers and knitting courses.
