The Nordic Wintering Cowl is a lovely colorwork accessory with a retro heartbeat, bold motifs, and a soft wink to the seventies. It is the go-to piece you throw on when the air turns sharp and winter settles in.

Worked in the same motif family as the Nordic Wintering Beanie and Mittens, it adds just the right extra touch on its own, or, if you are feeling bold, as part of the full set.

CONSTRUCTION
This infinity cowl is knitted in the round in full colorwork. It begins with a provisional cast-on using a crochet hook and scrap yarn. Once the cowl reaches its full length, the provisional cast-on is removed and stitches are picked up from the cast-on edge. The cowl is then twisted to form an infinity loop, and the live stitches are grafted together.
