--------------------------------------------------------Have you ever noticed how falling snowflakes pile up on bare tree branches in Winter? It turns out there’s a name for that! When trees interfere with falling precipitation it is called Interception.

When Blue Sky Fibers released their new Woolstok Tweed it jumped onto my needles! While it’s labeled as an aran weight, a good substitute would probably be a chunky yarn in another brand–just make sure to check your gauge!

This cowl is beginner friendly and it knits up so quickly! The pattern is knit from the bottom up and begins and ends with a twisted 1x1 ribbing. There are no increases or decreases in the body of the cowl. The trapezoid shape is formed during blocking due to the stretchy cast on edge! You may also choose to block less severely and not stretch the bottom edge for a more symmetrical look.
