Crunching Leaves Cowl
Introducing the Crunching Leaves Cowl—a perfect accessory to cozy down into during chilly days! This luxurious cowl features an extra layer of thick, soft merino wool that will keep you toasty warm as you go about your daily activities. Its appealing design, highlighted by an attractive inside, allows you to wear the cowl folded over or even upside down for a unique twist. If you prefer a wider cowl, simply increase the number of stitches by 2 and decrease the number of rounds you knit.
This versatile cowl can be crafted using two different colors, including stunning variegated yarns, or even a single color for a more classic look. It’s an ideal project for beginners and experienced knitters alike, making it a perfect holiday gift that can be created in no time. The Crunching Leaves Cowl features one of my favorite techniques—the “Woven Stitch.” This stitch gives the cowl the appearance of exquisite woven fabric, embodying both style and functionality.
