Leannán Worsted by All Knit Up Designs
Craft: Knitting
This pattern is available on Ravelry(goes to new website)(opens in a new tab).
Leannán Worsted is a single skein project designed to highlight hand dyed variegated yarn. The simple slip stitches nicely show off each perfectly painted bit of yarn and the amazing colors that are used. Leannán Worsted uses the same stitch pattern as my Leannán sock pattern here.
This pattern does call for a cable needle but if you are comfortable cabling without a cable needle or want to try, this is the perfect pattern. The pair of sock linked above was my first cabled project I knit without a cable needle, I found the cowl to be even easier.
