What you can see above is my latest design, Precious Arrows. It's a cowl that is composed of different textures making it interesting to the touch, unique and fun to wear.
Due to the several stitches used is also an exciting project to execute, that will keep you motivated to carry on. I think that is balanced in terms of difficulty throughout, because you start with a more challenging stitch pattern but then you have a break with the back loop dc/sc. After that, you are ready to make those last rows and finish your piece.

I've used Malabrigo Worsted, in the colours Chapel Stone and Verde Adriana. This is a 100% merino wool yarn, so the cowl is super soft and comfortable to wear. This is a yarn that I was dying to use, specially because of its colour options, and I'm a colour fanatic. :-D However, it's perfectly fine if you use another type of yarn for this project, preferably of around the same thickness so that you get a finished piece of approximately the same size. I indicate the gauge in the pattern, therefore you can use it as reference.

In the pattern you will find a written description of how to execute this item and also a diagram for the first few rows where the design is a bit more challenging. All the materials that you will need are listed and I've also included several tips throughout the document so that you end up with a piece perfectly done in no time. I have rated this pattern as Intermediate, in terms of level of difficulty, due to the use of front post stitches for the first bit, but an advanced beginner, eager to learn new things, can do it. Nevertheless, if you encounter any difficulties I'm here to help, all my contacts are described in the last page.

Stop by Ravelry to buy the pattern and very soon you will feel warm and cozy wearing the Precious Arrows cowl.
