Scarab Beetle Cowl
The Scarab Beetle Cowl features fun, colorwork scarab beetle motifs in the center surrounded by a striped border. The scarab beetles alternate direction, so both the cowl is always “right side up”! Some scarab beetles have a shiny, metallic appearance, some have fancy stripes and colors, and some are more subdued. If you’ve ever seen a “dung beetle”, “june bug”, or “Hercules beetle” you’ve seen a scarab!

◦150 meters (165 yards) of Color A (beetle color)
◦150 meters (165 yards) of Color B (background color)
Sizing
The finished cowl measures 26” (66 cm) in circumference and 11.5” (29 cm) in height.
