Watching Sparrows Cowl

A premium Knitting pattern

Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows. Matthew 10:29-31


There is a new stranded knitting pattern available in the Ravelry Shop. This pattern is so pretty. I no I will be wearing it a lot this fall and winter. The pattern uses 2 color stranded work. The cowl is worked in the round to make a long tube and then the tube is stitched together to form the cowl. This means that all the floats are hiding inside the cowl, and it makes is double thick making it extra cozy.

The pattern is charted and written in a simple manner for anyone comfortable with stranded work to accomplish. I would love for you to go give it some love on Ravelry. As a thank you to my readers I
