Add a flock of sweet sheep to your winter wardrobe! Designed by Jennifer Chisam of Mountain Legacy Designs, the cowl can be knit using our worsted weight Ridgedale Farm Yarn OR you can opt for the DK weight version in Prairie Shepherds Yarn (please see the other kit listing for details). 
 
The cowl is a quick knit using charted, stranded colorwork. It's a great colorwork project for an adventurous beginner, because it's worked in the round and has very few floats that need to be captured.
 
Kits come with 1 skein of Ridgedale Farms yarn in your choice of light or dark main color (MC), 1/2 skein of Ridgedale Farms yarn in your contrast color (CC), a pattern download code, a stitch marker, and a cotton project bag. 
 
Yarn skeins are variable in terms of weight, yardage, and fiber type:
Brown (MC) and Taupe (CC): ~180yds/4oz, Rambouillet x Columbia
Beige (MC) and Brown (CC): ~150yds/4oz, Columbia
