Williwaw Cowl

Discover the beauty of nature with the Williwaw Cowl, a stunning piece inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of southcentral Alaska. Named after the dramatic Williwaw winds that sweep down the Chugach Mountains, this cowl captures the essence of the sub-alpine flora that flourishes along the hiking trails. As a young adventurer, I cherished my journeys to Williwaw Lakes, where I admired the delicate dwarf dogwood flowers, the distinctive paperbark birches, and the vibrant wild roses adorned with ruby-red rosehips. This cozy knit cowl not only showcases my love for the Alaskan wilderness but also serves as a warm companion for those chilly northern days.

The Williwaw Cowl is crafted in the round using a provisional cast-on method, allowing for a beautifully seamless finish when it is grafted together at the end. Designed for adjustable sizing, this versatile accessory can be customized to fit anyone comfortably. To add a unique flair, consider embellishing the grafted area with your own embroidery or duplicate stitch, making this project truly personal and special. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, the Williwaw Cowl pattern is perfect for all skill levels. Embrace the spirit of the north and knit your own cozy cowl that captures the essence of Alaska's magnificent landscapes.
