The Moss Agate cowl is a great stash buster project. This was a pattern created to fit a gap in my wardrobe. I’d made a beautiful pink hat but only had a small amount of yarn leftover but wanted a matching cowl. The Moss Agate cowl can use make the most of small amounts of yarn. Worked in the round and using 2 colour moss stitch for pops of interest
