“'Happy Hoppin' Cowl 2014' by Diane Lynn Augustin”
Description
Grab this pattern and head out to your LYS to pick up yarn, needles and beads. Have fun!

The beads are optional, but it's so easy and so much fun to add them to your knitting, you just have to try it! This pattern is a good way to get started.:)

Learn a couple of tips and tricks for the cast on, join and bind off, too.

I recommend size 8, 24" length circulars for this project.

Also, depending on the yarn, you will use between 250-300 yards of sport weight or dk.

TOHO 6/0 seed beads are available at many of the shops:)
Bead stringing information is included in the pattern. We used approximately 500 beads in each sample cowl. The bead color used in the samples was #21, silver lined crystal.

Special long tail cast on information is included.


A special thank you to Wendy and Susan for test knitting the pattern.:)

The mauve cowl was knit with Juniper Moon, Findley dk. Color: Hyacinth.
