Dream Lake Cowl
Dream Lake is located in Rocky Mountain National Park in the state of Colorado. The peaceful beauty of a snowy day at the lake inspired this cowl, a soft comfortable warm luxury for cold days.
This cowl incorporates fun textures, some simple lace and even a little brioche to create this beautiful alpine scene. Some familiarity with brioche and brioche decreases is recommended!
A note about cowl construction The brioche trees are embedded within a framework of basic stockinette stitches. An optional third needle such as a dpn may be useful for working the trees.
