Aculeus Cowl

Introducing the Aculeus Cowl, a stunning knitting pattern that takes inspiration from the stinger of a scorpion. This unique cowl beautifully showcases an allover scorpion motif crafted with Crafty Jak’s Delicious DK—an aptly named yarn made from incredibly plush Bluefaced Leicester. The design involves knitting the cowl in the round as a seamless tube, which is then given a half twist before being joined at the ends. The resulting piece offers both comfort and style, featuring a cozy double-layered fabric that ensures warmth during chilly days, making it the perfect accessory for any hand-knit enthusiast. These charming scorpions will not only keep you snug but also serve as a delightful conversation starter!
