Winter Reflections
Winter Reflections offers two cowl designs: an infinity cowl and a shawl-styled cowl.
The infinity cowl starts with a provisional cast on and consists of fair isle patterns sandwiched between a simple textured lace stitch. The shawl-styled cowl begins with a garter-tab cast on and is worked flat until you’ve reached the neck circumference. Once the neck circumference is achieved, the cowl is joined and worked in-the-round with a fair isle pattern sandwiched between garter stitch. (And if you don’t like to work garter st in-the-round, there is a video tutorial included that shows you how to work garter in-the-round without purling.)
GAUGE (for both cowls)
31 sts by 34 rounds = 4” on US 4 in Fair Isle pattern
