| This pattern comes to us from Kristen Ashbaugh of Marinade Designs.
Like a few of our other employees, Kristen is working on a pattern line of her own.
Since the cowl/neckie is one of her all time favorite designs, she
wanted to share her pattern with all of you!

"If you are anything like me and find long scarves kind of annoying because you
are always adjusting them, try this recipe for a cozy and cute Neckie!
Say goodbye to scarves and embrace these hip little warmers perfect
for icy winter days and staying warm on the ski slopes.
They are also perfect for transitioning into spring with lighter layers."
