Hastings Cowl Snood Free Knitting Pattern
Cozy times are ahead with our Hastings Cowl Snood Free Knitting Pattern!
This quick, easy project is perfect for showing off some special skeins. Sometimes, the simplest stitches are the right choice for letting special yarn shine. When you want to display the artistic array of colors handpainted into your yarn, pass up the intricate stitch patterns and wandering cables in favor of straight knit stitch.
Single color yarns would also work well with this pattern. Choose your signature color for the season and in a few hours you’ll be a snug and warm with your new handmade accessory!
I always love Freia Fibers and wanted to create a classic pattern to show off her beautiful yarns.
Knit in the round with chunky yarn, the Hastings Cowl Snood is the definition of easy knitting. I always like to keep a mindless, meditative project going to keep me company during a chatty knit night or cozy night on the couch. Our Hastings Cowl Snood Free Knitting Pattern has you covered!
And the best part: the yarn does the heavy lifting!
