Winter Berries

Winter Berries is a pretty little cowl that uses bobbles and crossed stitches to create texture, warmth, and loads of cuteness. It's a one-skein knitting project and any beautiful skein of worsted weight yarn will work. Choose something soft and cozy that will feel great around your neck. It's shown here in Malabrigo Rios in Almond Blossom. This pattern is worked in the round. Use any bobble technique you prefer or try the 3HDC Bobble with a crochet hook as used here.
