The Flutterby Cowl features a colorwork butterfly (or moth!) motif. When chilly weather arrives and it’s time to wear this cowl I hope it brings memories of warmer weather and beautiful, fluttering insects! The pattern includes instructions for making the cowl in either fingering or worsted weight yarns.

This pattern was designed in collaboration with indie dyer Round Mountain Fibers, featuring Spruce Fingering yarn in colorways Medium Grey (A) and Rufous Tailed Hummingbird (B).
