Snow Dance

Introducing a beautifully crafted hooded cowl, designed with a lacy frosty edging that delicately frames your face and features simple yet elegant snowflakes adorning the top. This charming cowl meets at your neck, showcasing a stunning frosty lace collar that makes it the perfect accessory for winter wear. Ideal for showcasing gradient-dyed yarn, this pattern adds a unique touch to your knitting collection.

Don't let the intricate appearance fool you! The pattern is actually simpler than it looks, consisting of only four rows with various variations. Whether you prefer visual aids or written instructions, the pattern is thoughtfully provided in both charted format and line-by-line instructions, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. After completing the elegant face edging and snowflake designs, you will start again with a second needle to work on the beautiful collar area. Once both sections are finished, they come together seamlessly using the Kitchener stitch, ensuring a professional finish.

For this project, you will need TWO circular needles: a medium size (22" circumference around the face, under the chin, and over the forehead) requiring US size 5 needles, and a large size (24" circumference) needing US size 6 needles. Additionally, you’ll need approximately 9-10 grams of 6/0 beads, along with a Steel US 11 or 12 crochet hook for easy beading—no stringing required! This hooded cowl not only offers warmth and style but also provides a satisfying knitting experience that you’ll treasure. Perfect for gifting or personal use, it’s time to add this delightful pattern to your knitting repertoire!
