On an early fall evening, when the woods are dark and a chill haunts the air, don this cozy, textured cowl and head for the fire! There’s still a little time for marshmallows and campfire songs before the cold weather arrives – and with this cowl warming your neck, maybe even after the cold weather arrives!

The Campfire Cowl comes in three sizes. Each features a textured slip stitch pattern to allow variegated (or solid!) yarns to dance, much like the way a campfire’s sparks rise into the night sky.

The sample cowl is a size medium, and was knit with Riverside Studio’s DK 100% Merino Superwash in the Cobalt and Rust colourway. The matching hat for this cowl pattern can be found here. And, the matching mittens are in the works!
