Viva Glitz Cowl Free Knitting Pattern
Viva Glitz Cowl Free Knitting Pattern
There's a lot to like about Viva Glitz yarn. This hand dyed yarn from Feza has just a small hint of metallic glitz, enough to add some stitch definition, yet not so much that you can't wear it every day.
The colors in this yarn are exquisite and the drape is very soft. I think it would be lovely for knitting a tank or tee as well as shawls and wraps. Since it's a dk weight rayon blend, Viva Glitz is also ideal for wearing nearly year round.
I decided to work up Viva Glitz in a simple basket weave cowl. That stitch is my favorite for seeing a yarn's texture and drape. This project is simple enough for beginners and perfect for a bit of mindless knitting.
