DRK EVERYDAY COWL

It's the most wonderful time of the year and we're celebrating with a cheerful restock of Spun Right Round yarns in bright, beautiful colors!

This season, we're knitting up Andrea Mowry's timeless DRK Everyday Cowl. It not only makes a thoughtful gift for a knit-worthy loved one, it's also a practical gift for yourself!

Bonnie knitted up this colorful sample for the shop using Spun Right Round Squish DK, and it's so festive! It's cozy and comfortable, and serves as a beautiful blank canvas for Spun Right Round's incredible speckles!

The DRK Everyday Cowl is our new favorite "potato chip knit" - we can't knit just one, and it's vying for a top position on our go-to gift knitting list! It's a safe bet that many friends and family members of the Loop staff will be sporting these at the end of the year!

This cowl is so comfy and an excellent match for super soft yarn Squish DK! While we love shawls, the beauty of this easy-wearing design is that it gives you the look of a triangle shawl but stays put around your neck without any risk of slipping off or sliding around.

It's impossible to say enough great things about Spun Right Round Squish DK! It's an impossibly soft, round, smooth yarn with excellent stitch definition!

And the colors, oh, the colors! Squish DK's speckle-tastic hand-dyed hues knit up into boldly colorful statement hats, scarves, and shawls. The colorways are also lovely for coordinating into playful fades and stripes for signature sweaters and blankets!

And because it's a 100% superwash merino yarn, Squish DK is a fun choice for easy-care baby and child knits, especially if you're a fan of cheerful, non-traditional colors.

We've found that Squish DK is a versatile gauge yarn. Despite its DK name, this knits up as a worsted at 4.5 to 5 sts per inch. You could certainly also knit down tighter if you like for a firmer fabric.

This cowl is such a fun knit. Squishy garter and slipped stitches are all pulled together with a tidy i-cord edge for a satisfyingly clean finish.

It's worked flat on the bias, and a series of increases and decreases create a triangular shape that seams together to create a snuggly, not-too-bulky neck that can easily be tucked into the collar of a jacket.

We used 2 skeins of Squish DK in the Glitter Bomb colorway to knit our sample. You could also opt for 2 different colorways to create your own custom fade!

You'll need:

2 skeins of Spun Right Round Squish DK (we used Glitter Bomb)
US 6 24" circular needle
Tapestry Needle
DRK Everyday Cowl pattern

KNIT ACCESSORIES

Tell Santa that the new Lykke needle sets are here! These two new sets are sporting bright multi-colored tips or natural wood colors, and we have classic grey and bamboo sets stocked as well! All sets are available in 3.5" and 5" tips!

TALKING OUT OF TURN POUCHES

Our new Talking Out of Turn pouches do double duty as reusable zippered vessels for gifts and then as project bags for knitting and notions!

These puffy, gusseted pouches are fully lined and made from recycled water bottles - each one keeps 7 plastic bottles out of landfills! The smaller Tweedle Dee pouch measures 7.75" x 6" x 2" and the larger Tweedle Dum pouch is 10.5" x 7" x 3".

A third Busy Bee pouch measuring 8.5"W x 6" H x 2.5" is perfectly sized for medium-sized projects and made of sturdy vinyl and lines with rip-stop nylon.

GLEENER

Keep your knits looking like new with a Gleener! Available in standard (shown) and On-The-Go versions, this indispensable tool has a lint brush on one side and a de-pilling edge on the other.

Both Gleeners come with 3 fabric-safe edger blades to gently revive bulky, medium, and delicate fabrics like knits, t-shirts, upholstery, and blankets.

The standard, long-handled Gleener and its 3 blades are stored in a nylon pouch, while the 3 On-The-Go Gleener blades are stored inside the main component, which is about the size of an eyeglass case.
