Pattern Notes
This design is a cowl version of my popular Snow Fern Shawl design. This effortless accessory fits perfectly under your coat or cardigan. The Snow Fern stitch pattern features cables that slowly taper outwards and inwards, creating fern-like shapes. Pattern is written in one size, but a smaller needle can be used for a smaller circumference. All repeats appear in bold text throughout pattern. The pattern is charted and also includes separate written instructions.

Construction
The cowl is worked flat, from the top down, before joining in the round and worked down towards the center point. A garter edge finishes off the cowl.
