Love my new cowl! I did mine in “floral”. Super easy and quick!
How did you do the edge of (border) on your Jelly Bean Cowl?
There is no border.
I’m excited to try this pattern. Just wish we could just print the pattern without downloading a program.
Is there not a cleaner, more user friendly, less busy pattern we can download??
Thank u!
