Specklewerk Cowl

Are you looking for a simple, meditative project to showcase a fabulous set of minis? Then look no further than the linen stitch! This cowl is worked in a spiral with organic color changes, making it a relaxing piece to work on and a great way to use minis, variegated yarns, or even for stashbusting those leftover bits and bobs from last year's projects! ***This pattern is available for FREE [on my website][1]!*** The small fee for the pdf file you can download here, which includes additional photos for the initial joining and finishing as a bonus feature, helps me continue to be able to do what I love and share it with you!
