Looking for a warm little winter cowl to keep the wind out on those chilly days and nights ? The Snowy Trails Cowl has you covered - this stylish unisex cowl will keep your neck toasty warm. An entertaining project from start-to-finish, it features two different cables: one creating gentle undulating texture and another one creating a bold, interesting highlight.

The Snowy Trails Cowl is worked circularly from the bottom up, with two different cables and a bit of twisted ribbing. Length and width is adjustable to personal preference.

The pattern includes both written and charted directions.
