Frost Cowl Pattern (PDF)
PDF digital download only
The Frost Cowl pattern is designed to use scraps of leftover yarn or minis. Most of the cowl is really very simple, so you can relax and enjoy how the yarn is working up. The cowl is a tubular design, knitted in the round. This means you don’t have to sew in all those ends, because they will be hidden on the inside of the tube. The ends of the tube are joined using a Kitchener based technique, but without the headache of a special cast on.
The only technical aspect is the bobble stitch, which once you have done one, you will realise how easy and addictive they are. I also have a video tutorial to help you.
