Cowel for Davi….9 year old boy

Now is the time of year when I start to plan for Christmas…I start sewing, knitting, crocheting and planning. Many people appreciate a homemade gift. I love giving homemade gifts but, they take time…so, lists and ideas and plans are necessary and it is definitely time to start. Davi is the son of a friend of ours – the family has come from Brazil to Canada and I am knitting hats, scarves and sewing mittens made from wool sweaters (thrift stores and then washed)….
So, here is the pattern for a cowel for a child….in case you are interested in giving it a try.

You can use a chunky wool and size 5 needles.
