One of best sellers this year has been the Cloudy Portland Sky Cowl. A simple infinity cowl knit seamlessly in the round in seed stitch on US #10.5 needles. The yarn is what makes this cowl really special.
Cascade Yarns Eco Cloud, an aran weight chainette 70% merino wool, 30% baby alpaca with 164 yards/ skein. A very soft yarn and the chainette ply makes it light-weight, even knit on big needles while giving a simple seed stitch lovely texture. We carry Cloud in 18 beautiful colors and Eco Cloud in 5 undyed natural shades.

This is a free pattern available on the Yarn Garden Ravelry page, designed by Michelle Corcoran.
"Snow Skies" pictured above was knit with 2 skeins of Cascade Yarns, Eco Cloud in color #1801 natural.
Size can be easily modified by adding or taking away stitches, as long as the cast on number is odd.
Wear it doubled to stay toasty!
Pictured above, 2 skeins of Eco Cloud, color #1810 charcoal.
There is still time to knit a couple of these and gift, or gift the yarn and pattern to the special knitters in your life!
