Sunnydale Cowl
This pattern will be 25% off with code “giftalong2024” from Thursday, 11/21 at 5 pm EST to Wednesday, 11/27 at 11:59 pm EST.
The Sunnydale Cowl is a practical accessory for chilly, late-night graveyard strolls, when your hands might be otherwise occupied with stakes and crossbows. Originally designed for the Yarnover Truck Yarn Club’s “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” shipment, the pattern shines in even the most wildly variegated colorways. A unique combination of dropped and elongated stitches allows the most wildly colorful and variegated yarns to sing, and the changing flashes of color will keep you entertained from cast-on to bind-off.
This pattern contains both fully charted and written instructions. UPDATED 2/14/2020 TO INCLUDE GUIDANCE ON MAKING A WORSTED WEIGHT VERSION!
