This is a relatively easy and lovely cowl with an unusual style, very feminine and in a delicate shade of green. Light, yet warm enough for those chilly days of early spring! When done, you can leave it as is or add the flirty bow to the center. Enjoy!

You've done it again, Crafty Begonia, a darling original pattern. This would be so good as a charity scarf.
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord! Thank you so much, +Betty Lou, I am thrilled that you loved it. It is a very feminine cowl and yes, I will give Alynne for charity as well and will love it if you and others do it also. A bunch of them could be made in no time at all!
