Vivian Knit Cowl

This textured knit cowl will keep you comfy and cozy. The Cute As A Button yarn from Lion brand is super soft and fuzzy. This cowl uses stripes of a variation of the horseshoe cable and of stockinette stitch to make a design that is similar to the Vivian Crochet Cowl. With just one skein you can make a warm and wonderful winter accessory!

The yarn for this design was provided by Lion Brand

I’ve teamed up with Marie from Underground Crafter, Pia from Stitches ‘N’ Scraps, Joanita from Creative Crochet Workshop, and several other knitting designers to bring you 24 free knitting patterns for the perfect finishing touch!

How the Finishing Touches KAL Works

Every other Thursday from January 3 through November 21, 2019, we’ll share a free knitting pattern. Lion Brand has generously provided us with yarn for this KAL, so all of the patterns will be made with Lion Brand yarn.

To keep things interesting, every quarter we’ll have a new theme and a new set of giveaway prizes. We’re kicking off the year with perfect finishing touches to wear around your neck, and great prizes from Lion Brand, Louet, and Search Press!
