Generosity Cowl & Wristers

Generosity is something we’re taught as children but often forget to practice as adults. It doesn’t have to be large, grand gestures but often the small things have the biggest impact. As the 17th century writer and nonconformist preacher John Bunyan said, “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.”

Number 9 in my A Single Candle series, Generosity Cowl & Wristers are worked in a simple color stranded houndstooth check pattern; the cowl is worked in the round, and the pattern is easy enough to work back and forth for the wristers.

Gusto Wool Echoes comes as a pair of identical 50 gram skeins, each the same color fade gradient from end to end. By beginning at opposite ends of each skein, the colors fade beautifully to create a shifting design that seems more complex than it is.

The cowl measures 20 3/4" (52.5 cm) by 7" (18 cm). See the info sheet for wristers' finished measurements. One pair of skeins will make both pieces.
