If you need a very thick and warm hooded cowl, The La Neige may be just the one for you. A dense fabric is created by knitting super bulky yarn with smaller than usual needles. The result is perfect for cold climates. The beauty of this design is in the simplicity of the stitches. Design features include a smoothly tapered hood and an attached cowl. You may want to adorn the hood with a collage of winter flowers. Detailed instructions are included for an easy buttonhole. Please note that this pattern does not include instructions for flowers. References are provided for free flower crochet patterns.
