Good Morning Cowl

It’s that time of year again. The mornings are chilly and by noon it is warm outside. The best way to dress during seasons like this is to wear layers. This cowl is made to supply warmth and comfort to help kick start our days.
The stitch I came up with for this cowl is so much fun. It includes 3 beginner stitches- making this a great project for anyone.

*You are welcome to use any yarns and hooks for this pattern. You may want to adjust your number of repeating rounds if so.. or make it into an infinity scarf! So much creativity room for this fun pattern*
