Amy’s Energized Cinder Blocks Cowl is a gorgeous example of the texture that results from knitting certain simple knit-purl stitch patterns using energized singles. Learn how to create them in the “3-D Effects with Energized Singles” and then work up your own gorgeous cowl with the included pattern. Then, in “Bugs and Wraps: Break Plying Rules for Subtle Texture,” you'll focus on the tidy, textured-yarn effects that are possible with very few adjustments to traditional yarn components.
