Stumptown Cowl

This cowl is part of a collection I designed in collaboration with the amazing Lorajean of Knitted Wit. Her newest trio of yarns, the Victory line of American-made wool, is amazing to work with. Bouncy, sproingy, soft and lovely, every one of the yarns is a pure pleasure.

The Stumptown Collection consists of three patterns: this cowl, written for both Victory DK and Victory Fingering, the Stumptown Shawlette, also written for both Victory DK and Victory Fingering, and the Stumptown Socks, written for Victory Sock. Each pattern is available separately for $6, or you can get the entire collection for $14!
