About:

This is a lovely snuggly cowl, with a turned and knitted hem, giving it a tidy seamless edge. It has an easy colorwork pattern using 2 colours. Worked in the round, it is an 8 stitch repeat around the cowl. The pattern is both charted and written, so you can work in your most desired way. Choose a colour palette that works well together, or high contrasting colours for a colour pop!

This cowl is designed to match my Geode Hat pattern.
