Yule Cowl
Yule is the Celtic Druid festival to celebrate the winter solstice. The Yule log would be lit and burned to chase away the evil spirits of the dark winter and to celebrate the coming of the young Oak King and the chasing away of the darkness, associated with the old Holly King, as the sun is reborn. Worked in the round, this interlock crochet cowl, made with worsted weight yarn in white (200 yards) to represent snow, green (120 yards) to represent evergreen trees and holly leaves, and red (90 yards) to represent holly berries, is completely reversible. Present either a subtle whiter side or a bold colored side to match your mood. The slight puff of the center cowl section allows the red berry effect to be more visible when worn with the whiter side showing.
