Freia Yarns Sidestep Cowl Kit

These little kits contain the yarn and pattern for the scrumptious Sidestep Two-Color Brioche Cowl. This cozy cowl is made with two-color brioche in alternating gradient yarns and a stepped columnar pattern. Brioche adds an element of squishiness making this an exceptionally soft and cozy cowl when worked in the Freia US Merino minikins. Each comes boxed, so it makes a great gift for a knitter.
