Cross River Cowl

Lion Brand® Nature's Choice Organic® Cotton - Cotton-Ease®

GAUGE:

10 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st worked in the rnd (k every rnd) with 1 strand each of A and C held tog. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Cross River Cowl Reviewed by ANDREA C YIZAR on 2011-05-06 *****
I made this cowl using Vanna's choice yarn. It came out very well and is very appreciated by the person I gave it to.
