Fiddle Knits Designs | Beautifully detailed patterns for the hand knitter and crocheter
Created by Erica Jackofsky
This is a fun and super fast project. Perfect for last minute gift giving or just some instant gratification. Do make sure that you keep the first/last stitches of every row in garter stitch. Without this little border the edges will curl! (I person- ally forgot this when knitting the blue version, so keep that in mind when comparing yours to my photo.) The yarn information below gives the requirements for both neck cozies shown.Materials

Extras
