In this course we will learn to knit the Cuello Principiante (Beginner Cowl), a basic cowl with knit and purl stitches and a ribbing section at the beginning and the end. It's unisex cowl, quite loose and drapey which can be knitted very quickly. It's the perfect project to get started in this adventure. Download the pattern (it's free) and follow it while you watch the videos. The pattern is available in English and can be followed without the videos.
