Kermit Cowl

I love the Muppets and everything Kermit green.

A while back I found this yarn on Etsy at Hickory Ridge Farm and fell in love with it.

I had a difficult time determining what to do with this yarn. Because it’s so bulky and one ply it was hard for me because I am a tight knitter.  Also, I did try to knit with plastic needles and this yarn would just not move so I ordered some new Addi tips and they worked like a charm.

I could have used slightly larger needles but I like the results here.  I'm sure this pattern has been written up and used many times over...
