Every Which Way Cowl, Hat and Fingerless Mitts
The first time I touched Bare Naked Wools ‘Confection’ I knew two things: 1) I wanted to wrap myself in the yarn and 2) the amount of “spring” in the yarn would make it a dream to knit with. The natural colours of the yarn made it so difficult to choose just one and so I selected two shades of grey and the natural figuring on deciding on a pattern later. A few days later this cowl sprang fully designed into my dreams and quickly flew off my needles.
After quickly knitting a cowl out of this yarn, I didn’t want stop knitting with this yarn and proceeded to design a matching hat and fingerless mitts. The generous yardage in these skeins mean that, with three skeins, there is easily enough yarn to knit the complete set.
