HANDWARMERS & COWL SET
Stay warm with this two-tone set by Elisabeth Davis de Herraiz
Created with a painted thread wrapped with yarn in a second shade, there’s something magical about Scheepjes’ River Washed, and this fanning shell stitch offers a perfect showcase. Packaging up light and slim, this cowl set is also a practical gift for posting.
NOTES
Handwarmers and Cowl are worked in rows and joined together at the end. Pattern repeat is worked over a multiple of 10 sts plus 1.
Turning ch at the beginning of each row does not count as a st.
