A fleet of miniature boats is sailing in to encircle you with warmth! Are you ready to embark on some deceptively simple slip-stitch colorwork? With only one color worked per round, you won’t be carrying two strands of yarn at once. And with a stretch of stockinette as you near the finish, you’ll be pleasantly surprised how quickly this cowl comes together.
