SLY Guy

Introducing the Support Local Yarn Guy, affectionately known as Sly Guy—a beautifully crafted knitting pattern perfect for creating a cozy cowl and stylish fingerless mittens. This delightful pattern showcases the versatility of MJ yarns, incorporating an array of textures that breathe life into your knitting project. The cowl features engaging colorwork, highlighting techniques such as stockinette stitch, garter stitch, Andalusian stitch, and delicate lace.

The design of the cowl is both functional and aesthetic. It is knitted in rounds until it reaches the desired length and then expertly folded. The top and bottom edges are closed together using the convenient three-needle bind-off method. This clever technique not only provides a polished finish but also cleverly conceals the wrong side of the fabric, eliminating the need for double knitting. The accompanying fingerless mittens are crafted from the cuff, also worked in rounds, ensuring a seamless look.

Finished Measurements:
Cowl: Width: 30” / 76 cm, Height: 10” / 25.5 cm
Fingerless Mittens: Palm Width: 3” / 7.5 cm, Length from Cuff to Top: 9.5” / 24 cm

This pattern is ideal for knitters looking to explore a range of techniques while creating warm, trendy accessories.
