Turtle Town Cowl
This pattern contains both knit and crochet instructions, even though the listing is shown as knitting only. I have included details below for any of my crocheters looking for info! (Please note that the knit version of this cowl calls for DK weight yarn, and the crochet version calls for sport weight yarn.)
This cowl was inspired by a wonderful trip to Maui where I was fortunate enough to swim with not one, but three sea turtles over the course of several days. As a small thank you to the island and the people of West Maui who warmly welcomed us after the devastating fires, all profits earned from the sale of this pattern will be donated to various charities working to rebuild the City of Lahaina and support the surrounding communities.
