Snowflower Cowl, English

It’s time to cozy up! Let’s keep warm and snuggly – let’s wrap some yak around ourselves.

This is such an easy  knit! If you can cast on, work a knit stitch, pick up stitches and bind off, you can make this cowl. It is perfect for that very first project, especially if there’s someone around to lend a helping hand.

It is worked as one long piece, which is then sewn together to form a cowl with a V-neck. Stitches are picked up to knit a little triangle to fill out the V and finish the cowl.

There is an option to embroider flowers in the triangle, but you easily omit those.
