When your phone or computer acts up, what do you do to fix it? I’ll bet you try a soft reset. You might not need to shut it down completely, but a gentle restart clears away the junk and you can continue.

A soft reset in your knitting can do just the same. If you need to bounce back after a busy holiday season, a big work project, or a heavy personal matter, the last thing you want is a challenging knitting project.

Embrace the simplicity of knits and purls with a Soft Reset. A 2-stitch, 4-row repeat creates a nearly reversible cowl or scarf. Mock I-cord edges are worked as you go, lending a clean border without the tricky finishing. Once the pattern is established, my handy tips will help you continue without looking at the charted or written instructions. And when all you want right now is a quick refresh, you’ll see progress right away thanks to the lofty Aran weight yarn.

Whatever burden you need to cast aside, cast on this easy yet satisfying project to cleanse your palette and soft reset your mojo!
