Helpful Hints

When adding Color B:
Hold color B behind the work, leaving a 4-5'' tail. Insert knitting needle into next stitch to knit wrap; wrap Color B around needle; bring color B forward. Continue knitting, being careful not to pull on Color B too hard.

When knitting stripes:
You don't have to cut the yarn every time you switch colors! Instead, pick up the new color and twist once with the old color before knitting the next round. Be sure to leave enough slack in the yarn so it's not too tight.

Is there video showing how to add the colors? I see the tip. But I am new to knitting and I want to do this correctly. Does anyone have a suggestion on a video?

I keep trying to knit but I don't think I will ever get the hang of it, especially with my arthritic hands.

I'd probably name it "Strawberry Dreams Cowl" or something like that. But I love how quick and easy this pattern looks. I could probably knit up a few of these in different colors to donate to our local shelters.
