Rug Cowl

PATTERN
The Rug Cowl has been sitting in my sketch pad for years. I have saved it because I
knew there might be a special time to actually use it as a teaching pattern. Bam!
Domestika rolled into my email and I knew exactly that the Rug Cowl was about to
make it's debut. The design is based off of traditional Navajo rugs. The squares and
diamonds are seen throughout so many patterns and area tribute to the homeland
( The four sacred mountains that our tribe lives within). I hope you enjoy this class
and learn so much about colorwork knitting.
