This Crafting Life: cowl

This pretty cowl was the first knitting pattern I ever wrote. Some of the design flaws have been fixed in different versions of cowls I have written. I highly recommend you do a test gauge, as it will turn out very different with different types of yarn! I hope you enjoy this pretty cowl as much as I do!!!
