Little Gemstones Cowl kit by Claire Slade

The Little Gemstones Cowl by Claire Slade is a study in short rows! This clever project is seamlessly worked in the round, and each of the gems are worked using a randomly selected mini ball of yarn from a ring of Crazy Perlen by Schoppel. Outlined with stitches of Admiral, the project can be adjusted in both height and circumference, and the designer includes directions on how this can be achieved. The pattern is written only (no charts) and would make a fabulous gift this Holiday season!
