Coleman Cowl

Introducing a beautifully designed cowl inspired by the simple square pattern from my previous muffler design honoring Bessie Coleman, the pioneering African-American female aviator and first woman of African descent to hold a pilot’s license. This stunning cowl combines vibrant color and rich texture, resulting in a warm and stylish accessory that is remarkably versatile.

When worn down, the cowl makes a bold and fashionable statement; when doubled, it snugly wraps around the neck and shoulders, providing exceptional warmth and defense against the chill—especially when crafted using an incredible yak-blend yarn. You'll find that nothing compares to the practicality and utility of a well-designed cowl, and I am certain that Bessie would wholeheartedly agree and approve of this thoughtful tribute.

One of the highlights of this design is the muted yet striking color play of the three yak colorways, perfectly capturing the essence of autumn. For those who prefer a more daring aesthetic, this pattern easily allows for bolder color choices. So, indulge in selecting colors that bring you the greatest joy—perfect for creating a delightful knitting experience in autumn and throughout the seasons.

Whether you are a seasoned knitter or a beginner looking for your next project, this cowl pattern offers an excellent combination of style and functionality, making it a must-have addition to your wardrobe.
