Unswerving Cowl: A New Knitting Pattern
Reader
I have a new knitting pattern. It's called Unswerving Cowl. I actually finished this design back in May and decided to wait until fall to share it. After I made the Just a Posy Cowl and everyone loved it so much I wanted to make another version that would look great on everyone.
I used Knit Picks Palette yarn this time. It is such a durable yarn. I have some makes with this yarn that are close to 5 years old and they have just gotten softer and better with age. Any fingering weight yarn will work with this pattern, so the options are endless, but I absolutely love how these colors came together.
My 7 year old took this picture. Didn't she do such a great job? If you notice there is a matching hat, and it will be coming next month. There is enough yarn left-over from the cowl to make the hat.
Where to Find the Pattern
You can purchase the cowl pattern from my Ravelry shop or Etsy Shop. On Ravelry I have my usual reduced price for the first week. I took so long getting this email out I'll keep the sale up a little longer.

Reader Designs by Diligence is 14 years old this week. I can hardly believe I have been creating things for you for that long. What a joy its been from my first design appearing in Crochetvolution to now. I wanted to celebrate by offering a free knitting pattern just for this week. Restful Hat In my quest for using up the yarn I have. I decided to use up some mini skeins. I also added a lace weight mohair, and the result was the softest 2 tone hat that I have thoroughly enjoyed wearing this...
Reader It doesn't seem possible that the cold weather is just around the corner. I wanted to get this pattern out to you early so you could have it finished before you really needed it. This is a stranded knit pattern with a chart and instructions to make this beautiful cowl. This time I decided to make it with a DK weight yarn for the extra squish and warmth and I'm so glad that I did. It uses 200 grams of yarn. Unfortunately it uses 110 grams of the background color so you need 3 skeins...
