A Glacial Pace

Introducing “A Glacial Pace,” a stunningly reversible infinity scarf/cowl designed specifically for my dear friend Kathy to accompany her on her Alaskan Cruise. This unique accessory combines style and functionality, making it the perfect addition to any wardrobe.

One of the common issues with traditional long cowls is that they often feature a distinct right side and wrong side. When wrapped twice around your neck, it’s inevitable that a significant portion of the unattractive wrong side ends up visible on the outside. However, “A Glacial Pace” is a truly reversible cowl, crafted to look equally beautiful whether worn as an infinity scarf or as a snug cowl wrapped around your neck for added warmth. This versatility ensures you can enjoy a chic appearance without sacrificing comfort.

Despite its name, this cowl works up incredibly quickly, requiring only 200 yards of worsted or aran weight yarn. The slightly loose gauge not only enhances the cowl's drape but also ensures it remains warm without feeling bulky or uncomfortable, even when doubled over for those chilly days. You’ll love how lightweight this accessory is while still providing the cozy feel you desire.

The green sample of “A Glacial Pace” was photographed after blocking, which slightly flattens the texture of the intricate stitch pattern, giving it a refined look. In contrast, the pink sample showcases the cowl before blocking, retaining its beautiful texture and detailed craftsmanship. This means you can choose your preferred style—more structured or wonderfully textured—based on your finishing choices.

Perfect for knitters of various skill levels, this cowl pattern not only enhances your accessory collection but also makes for a thoughtful gift for friends and loved ones heading on winter adventures.
