I capped-off the California leg of my The Knit Vibe book tour, with a visit to the Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family show. Everyone, from casting director Jolie, to make-up artist Marty, to co-host Debbie, are always so kind and gracious — it’s an absolute pleasure to be a part of an episode!

This time, we did a quickie demo of one of the Go-To Gifts from The Knit Vibe, a lusciously Chunky Cowl. This project works up quickly (using super-chunky yarn and size US 13 needles) and beautifully in a slip stitch, spiral rib. Make one (or lots) today, even if you don’t yet have my book, by going to the Home & Family site where (courtesy of Abrams Books) we’re offering the pattern for free.

 

Don’t forget to tag me (@vickiehowell) with a photo with your finished cowls, if you make ’em! xx

    Love the cowl…it doesn’t specify whether to slip knitwise or purlwise….hope you can help me out.

    Thanks so much for the pattern.

      Hey there. Unless a pattern specifies otherwise, then a stitch should always be slipped purl-wise so that the stitch is transferred without twisting it. HTH!
