Cloudstrike
Sometimes you just want a lightning-fast project. Originally designed for a Queen City Yarn subscription box in a yarn meant to evoke tie-dye, Cloudstrike uses just a single skein of cloud-soft worsted yarn. A lightning strike creates bold visual lines, meaning this cowl can handle any dye job – be it solid, variegated, worsted, or self-striping.

What test knitters had to say:

“It’s a very enjoyable pattern to knit and would make a lovely gift.”
