Crofter’s Cowl is a warm and embracing neck warmer for cold days, whether you’re in the city or out in the countryside. It’s simple to knit but has that little extra something. The colorwork is worked in an easy pattern that’s perfect for knitters who don’t have much experience with stranded colourwork. The shape of the cowl is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, allowing it to sit comfortably around the neck while fitting nicely over the shoulders. It’s perfect to pull on under your coat on a windy winter day when you’re heading out to bring in firewood, or simply to cozy up in front of the fireplace at the cabin. Choose whether you want to knit the small or large size. The photos show the small size, which is designed to fit snugly around the neck.

Feel free to pair it with Crofter’s Socks and Crofter’s Mittens in the same colourwork pattern!
