30 Days For 30 Dollars: Day 3

Day 3:  Gifts For Girls

For this project I used 2 skeins of thrifted yarn, 75 cents a piece.

This pattern is very easy and would be great for a beginning knitter.  It's a simple drop stitch pattern.  You add stitches on in 1 row and drop them off in the next.

Easy Knit Cowl Pattern:

Yarn:  Chunky 

Needles:  Size 15

Cast on 35 stitches.

Row 1:  *K1, YO (yarn over) twice* K1

Row 2:  *K1, drop 2 stitches* K1

Repeat rows 1 and 2 until piece measures approximately 30 inches

Bind off loosely.  

Stitch ends together 

Note:  Your bind off row and starting row may not match up exactly (I tend to bind off somewhat tightly) but you should be able to ease them together.

Total spent:  $1.50
