Gift Idea: Cowls
One of my favorite gifts to make are cowls. They’re cozy, quick to knit or crochet, and require little yarn while looking expensive. They can blend into a winter coat or add a pop of color to an otherwise drab outfit. Here are a few that I’ve designed (mostly) this season, with the latest being an ombre cowl for the Joanns website. All are made in Bernat Sheep(ish) by Vickie Howell yarn which can be found at select Michaels, Joann Stores and online for under $4 a ball. You can beat that!
