splitter– beautiful zen knitting
Yes, yes, yes! You read that right. Here at RevelCrochet we are also a fan of knitting. Especially when its quick and easy. The Splitter Cowl is truly easy enough for a beginner. I know ALL knitting is just a combination of knits and purls, but this is a simple rib- in the round. So, while yes, its a great piece for the beginner, Splitter is a treat to knit for the seasoned stitcher, as well. It was such a joy to just sit and relax, have a zen moment and work my yarn. Nothing complicated to count or worry about–– great for commutes and wonderful to have on hand for gift giving! 💝

about the yarn
I’ve said it before, but it’s worth saying again, the soft and squishy factor for the King Cole Timeless Chunky is NEXT LEVEL!
164 yd [155 m]/3.53 oz [100 g]), 90% premium acrylic 10% alpaca.
The amazing drape of this cowl is largely due to this yarn. The alpaca gives the yarn a dreamy next-to-skin softness and the gorgeous halo you’d expect from a yarn 3 times the price.
Overall- Oooo La La!
