PIe Crust Basketweave Cowl

    So I bought a copy of Vogue Knitting Stitchionary:  Volumes One and Two.  They have been so much fun to look at and I want to try out tons of stitches.  I also realized that this year with two boys in school, I will have to come up with some Christmas gifts for teachers and service providers.  I decided the best way would be to play with the stitch patterns and make some cowls.  I can give each person a cowl and a Dunkin gift card and I will be all set for the holidays.  Two birds with one stone.  I took the stitch patterns and put them in the round to complete the cowls.  I only used one skein of Brava Bulky for each cowl, it's a great way to use up my immense bulky yarn stash.  I hope you enjoy.
