Winters are a time for cozy knits and nothing is more cozy than a warm cowl wrapped around your neck. Winter Break is a colowork cowl featuring winter and snow like motifs to wear all season long.

This is a wonderful gender neutral piece to knit and gift your knitworthy friends and family. Or enjoy some selfish knitting during the long winter break.
