After designing several advent patterns, it’s time for a pattern to celebrate a festival that’s very close to my heart: Hanukkah! The Festival of Lights Cowl is a pattern for the 8 days of Hanukkah, though of course you could make it anytime!

Yarn:

• This pattern uses 8 minis and one main skein, all in fingering weight (4ply) yarn.
• The photographed example is made using the Winter Warmers bundle paired with a skein of Jet from Obsession Yarns. At the time of publishing, these sets are available for pre-order, so make sure you check out Obsession Yarns!
