Parclose Cowl
This pattern is provided free for your enjoyment! I design my free patterns to enjoy the process of knitting and to give something back to the knitting community. If you like this pattern and would like to support the creation of future patterns, please consider making a very small contribution via Paypal to: PayPal.me\Viktionary
Contributions will go towards purchasing yarn for future designs and the occasional Earl Grey latte to keep the fires of creativity fueled! Regardless of whether you contribute financially or not, thank you for your support and kind words on my patterns.
The 17th century geometric motif on this cowl gives the feel of a wooden screen in a chapel or church. A parclose is the area in a manorial chapel that is enclosed by a screen. Enclose yourself in this warm and cozy cowl.
