Garri Cowl

The pattern for the Garri cowl was created one icy cold day in January when it was snowing and blowing and spring seemed so far away. (In Icelandic the word „Garri“ refers to a cold, biting wind). I wanted to make something soft, warm and versatile, smaller and less bulky than a scarf or shawl. The cowl is thick enough to keep you warm, compact enough to fit under most coats and jackets, and simple enough that anyone can make it. When folded double, it also works well as an ear band. A true “one skein wonder”.
