It’s Christmas time AND it’s time for MERRYMAKING! This Christmas cowl is unapologetically jolly. Using a combination of textural stitches and stranded colorwork, knitters will knit some Christmas cheer this holiday season. Let’s make something merry! *This pattern was originally released in 12 clues as a mystery knit-a-long in December of 2024. When you buy this pattern, you will receive a complete, condensed version of the pattern as well as the original 12 clues.* This cowl includes: * seamless construction * stranded colorwork * textural stitches * slipped stitches * video tutorials * Christmas knitting fun! A portion of this cowl will be worked in textural stitches. These sections will be charted and include written instructions. I provide tutorials to help you through the textural stitches. This pattern includes stranded colorwork. In fact, MOST of this pattern will be worked in stranded colorwork. The stranded colorwork will be charted, but will not include written instructions. All stranded colorwork will be done in the round and you will never need to carry more than 2 strands at once.
