Cowl with a Cause

Cowl with a Cause is a seamless cowl designed to be knit with a 12 mini-skein fingering-weight set or scraps from other projects. It also can be knit with full 100g skeins, alternating one MC and one CC. 

This is the perfect project to knit over a week-long vacation or staycation, it is a quick knit yet very satisfying and substantial. 

While I love everything about mini sets, and Cowl with a Cause is an opportunity to play with these little bundles of happiness, it is hard to feel happy when there are so many people suffering everyday. Every penny of your purchase of Cowl with a Cause will go to a reputable charity with an 80% or higher program expense ratio. See the pattern’s Ravelry page for the current charity and the total raised.

The cowl started as a fun knit, I thought maybe I would name it Cowlfornication. Fun, right? But it was while I was working on it during school break with my kids, that my original plan for the design shifted. I was safe, warm, well-fed, knitting, and watching millions of families flee the war in the Ukraine on the news and I immediately felt helpless and scared. Every penny of the pattern will go to World Central Kitchen (with all fees paid by me) which is doing great things in the region and beyond. The charity of choice may not always be WCK, but 100% of all proceeds (and fees will always be paid by me) will always go to a reputable charity with an 80% or higher program expense ratio.

Also, If you would prefer to donate on your own to the reputable charity of your choice (with an 80% or higher program expense ratio) just send me some form of proof and I will send you the pattern via your chosen platform.
