The Countdown to 2021 has begun and there I can think of no better way than to do a mystery make along to bring in the new year! Join Erin Lane Bags, Destination Yarns and Marly Bird from Dec. 26-Dec. 31, 2020 and make the Closing Time Cowl. Make something magical to wear in the new year!
Is there a knitting and crochet project?
If you have come to know me and my events at all, you know that I try to make them open to both knitters AND crocheters as much as possible. The Countdown to 2021 is no different, I will have a knitting pattern AND and crochet pattern.
What is the Countdown to 2021 project
The title sort of gives it away but I thought it was the perfect name for this project. The Closing Time Cowl is a fashionable accessory made with the hand dyed yarn from Destination Yarns. I kept the pattern rather simple and not too busy, and if you were to ask me (and you are) I think it is the mystery pattern is the perfect combination of pleasant knitting/crochet and intriguing stitches.
Where are the patterns?
Each day of the event, there will be another set of instructions added to the pattern. ????That means you need to come back to the pattern EVERY DAY by 10 am ET to get the next set of instructions????
The button link to the patterns can be found below. ????
What materials are needed for the Countdown to 2021
Most of you are joining me here because you already have the amazing Countdown to 2021 box by Erin Lane Bags and Destination Yarns. Very much like an advent box, each day you will open one of the items inside the box. Some days there is yarn and other days there are other items.
For this project you will use the yarn 😉
