Snow Shower Cowl
Snow Shower Cowl
This cowl is worked length-wise in the round, then the end is joined to the beginning to form a torus or donut shape. This means there’s no wrong side visible and it’s double-layered at all points, making it a great use for a hand-spun single ply yarn that might be too fragile as a single layer. A brief section of simple lace adds visual interest, while the construction means you can easily just knit til you’re out of yarn.
