Years ago, one of my first published patterns was The Snowflake Headband. I’ve since made a coordinating super bulky Snowflake Hat, and this year I’ve been working on a new super bulky cowl as well as this bulky weight hat and cowl.

This classic “Nordic Star” pattern, or snowflake motif, isn’t original - it’s been around
longer than me - but I’ve loved the challenge of putting it into these knitting patterns.

Pattern is written for one size. The chart is quite wide, and
this prohibits me from making a more diverse size
selection with this particular cowl.

This cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up using
circular needles. The pattern calls for 2 contrasting colors.

Shown in Malabrigo Chunky. Bulky yarn can vary quite
a bit, so be sure to gauge swatch part of the colorwork
section and adjust needle size as needed to meet gauge.
