Moss Agate
Moss Agate is the perfect stash buster project for knitters looking to make the most out of their leftover yarn. This unique pattern was thoughtfully created to fill a gap in my wardrobe. After crafting a beautiful pink hat, I found myself with only a small amount of yarn left over but still craved a matching cowl. Moss Agate allows you to utilize those little bits of yarn effectively. This stylish cowl is worked in the round and features a delightful 2-color moss stitch, adding pops of visual interest that elevate the overall design.
YARN
For this project, the recommended yarn consists of a total of 560m (approximately 613yds) of 4ply or fingering weight yarn in at least 2 contrasting colors, allowing for a fantastic color play that enhances the pattern's charm.
