Make a stylish cowl using this pretty stitch called either the star or daisy stitch. The stitch is more complicated than a beginner stitch but after you learn how to do the stitch it is a one row repeat.
The beautiful textured works well for many items. I have made ear warmers, and a blanket with this pretty stitch.
