Cowls & Hats to Knit and Crochet exclusively for Bamboo So Fine Yans (Be So Sporty and Be So Fine)
Introduction
Inspired by my son's love of sports and tennis in particular, these beautiful outerwear accessories are named after all of the most important tennis competition locations, including the four Grand Slams, the upcoming Olympics and my son's tennis academy. Each one of these beautiful cowls and hats captivates the silky drape and luster of Bamboo So Fine's newest yam, Be So Sporty, a 1oo% bamboo sport weight yam. Milled, spun and hand dyed in Texas, this gorgeous yam comes in 325 yard skeins. Each project is a one-skein project! Two of the projects are knit and five are crochet. Each one is a simple technique, which makes this a perfect gift for anyone - inlcluding a beginner! They are all easy to wear, and simple to create. Check out Kristin's YouTube channel for tutorial videos on the stitches used in each shawl here: http://w.youtube.com/user/KristinOmdahl Each project is hand washed for blocking purposes, as well as general cleaning, with Kristin's all natural, no-rinse delicate wash, Wrapture. http://ww.eucalan.com/wrapture
