I got this brand new yarn from Jill Draper in the mail, and PRESTO, two days later I had my new favorite cowl!
Presto Cowl uses a simple slipped beading technique to create a lightly ruched fabric when combined with EASY lace! It really doesn’t get more satisfying than this!

There is a KAL and Spoiler thread set up for Presto Cowlo here: https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/nelkin-designs/
