In this class we will explore the world of cowls. Students will learn how to master cowl design using various yarn weights, incorporating stitch patterns into their design, working colorwork in the round, adding decorative edges, and how to properly block. There will be tips and tricks along the way, and how to master stretchy cast-on and bind-off methods.

• Yarn: Decide if you would like to make your cowl with bulky/super bulky, Aran/worsted, DK, or fingering-weight yarn. For bulky/super bulky, bring 2 skeins (usually 200–250 yd total), with corresponding 24" circular needles in two different sizes, e.g., US 13 and 15. For Aran/worsted, bring 2 skeins (usually 400 yd total), with corresponding 24" circular needles in two different sizes, e.g.. US 7 and 8. For DK, bring 1–2 skeins (depending on the length you would like for your cowl), with corresponding 24" circular needles in two different sizes, e.g., US 5 and 6. For fingering weight, bring 1 skein (usually 400–420 yd total), with corresponding 24” circular needles in two different sizes, e.g.. US 3 and 4.
