I am so excited to bring you the new Aire Cowl by Natalie Thomas of Detroit Knots featuring Berroco Renew yarn.This pattern set  debuted at the most recent Stitch Up Chicago and guests fell in love with this yarn instantly. 

I love the way Natalie designed this pattern to give you options of how to make it. You can make a short quick cowl or a long double wrap cowl and even more of an infinity scarf style. If you like a wider cowl then you can add rows and make a wider version. The versatility of this design gives you so many wonderful options.

Yes! You get 3 options to make a short cowl, a long double wrap or an infinity scarf!

Natalie brought the short cowl and long double wrap version to Stitch Up Chicago and everyone clamored to have it on. 

Berroco Renew fiber is a fully sustainable fiber made from recycled materials. It is light and works up wonderfully. I like the way the stitches feel as the piece comes together and the drape it creates in both crochet and knit,

Enjoy this pattern set and make all the versions for yourself and gifts. These are also great for market season.
