The Pinyon Pine Cowl takes its name from the nubby, gnarled pine tree. It is a beginner friendly cowl with lots of texture and easy stripes. It’s knit up in the round in 2 colors of worsted weight yarn with a pattern repeat that’s easy to memorize. The design gives it a structured feel and a simple and subtle fade effect with small cables and bobbles all over.
