Mind the Gap: it’s STILL cold!
(& looks like it’s going to stay that way for awhile…)

Make a quick chill blaster with our easy cowl pattern – mod our MAXIMUS style for a smaller version – uses 88 yds of Super Bulky yarn.

(Triple stranded worsted works really nice — try different colors for a tweedy effect!)

the PATT
find it HERE

the MOD
Using the set of numbers for the 2.5 sts per inch gauge instructions, subtract 8 sts from your cast on and 8″ from the length worked. THAT’S IT!
