Slasher Cowl
Do you spot it? The iconic ghost face mask? While I don't typically gravitate towards horror films, the legendary Scream has earned its place as a cult classic. Once I laid eyes on the ghost face, it became impossible to look away. This cozy cowl, inspired by the suspenseful spirit, features a unique slipped stitch design with corrugated ribbing, achieving a stunning visual effect. Crafted using just one color at a time, it results in an ultra-plush and squishy texture that’s perfect for chilly evenings. For the best results, high-contrast yarns are recommended to truly showcase the striking pattern.
Although this cowl is primarily written for worsted weight yarn, the pattern is easily adaptable for other yarn weights. Simply adjust the needle size accordingly for a perfect fit. Clear suggestions for customizing the yarn weight are provided within the pattern, making it user-friendly for knitters of all levels.
