A simple beaded pattern takes this cowl from simple to extraordinary.

The glass beads in the cowl twinkle as they catch the light. As they do, it reminds me of crystal clear nights where you can see the stars stretching on forever.

This cowl is knit in the round and the beads are attached as you knit with a crochet hook. If you are not familiar with this method, please watch some how-to videos available online.
