The Polar Palooza Knit Snood & Cowl is a festive stranded colorwork project designed to keep you warm in style. Worked in the round with multiple charted sections, this pattern creates a thick, cozy fabric that’s perfect for winter wear.

Designed to be worn either as a traditional cowl or cinched up into a snood with an optional I-cord drawstring, Polar Palooza offers flexibility, comfort, and loads of visual interest. Charts are clear and easy to follow, with helpful notes and video tutorials included to support confident colorwork knitting.
