Row 3: TC 25 across; chain 2; turn;

The Wordy Bit
This yarn came to me in a big collection (the same one as the Noro Hakone). As soon as I saw the sunny yellow with metallic accent, I thought of my daughter Lily. Since I had just made the Noro Cowl for me, I figured I would design a unique cowl for her using the one hank.
This is a cotton blend yarn, so the result is a light, airy cowl that is very versatile--both in style and color. The yellow can be muted, as shown above, or it really pops against white, as below.
Isn't that fantastic? This is a great piece to dress up jeans and a t-shirt or to go along with a sweater dress. I made this for my toddler, but it's long enough that she can wear it for as long as it lasts.
