Description
We all have those few random skeins of bulky weight yarn that we bought somewhere to bring us joy or as a memento. The sad truth is it can be hard to find a good way to showcase bulky yarn. So, rather than fight it, I gave into the thick and squishy texture. Knit flat this V stitch creates the illusion of a much more complicated pattern. So, sit back, relax, and get out the big needles, this will be a fun project.
Cowl:

Alternative Yarn Suggestions:
This is a good project for yarns that may not be consistent in thickness provided the yarn is the same weight as Meringue.
For a natural alternative choose Cozy Colorworks Bulky or a yarn of similar weight. https://www.cozycolorworks.com/bulky-weight-merino-yarn
