or as part of the +1 Pop Collection
The +1 Pop Collection has a new arrival to announce! The Curvature of the Earth Cowl is here, and it’s ready to take the roll of easy poolside or travel knitting.
By knitting on the bias, you’ll get maximum impact from a mini skein and a few garter ridges. There are 3 single stripes and 2 double stripes in the contrast colour, giving you a slightly different look on each side. I know not everyone loves the process of grafting despite it’s smooth beauty, so instructions are given for a three-needle bind off as well as grafting so that you can choose the method you’re most comfortable with.
Easy to modify and make your own.
