Powder Snow Cowl

Think of a clear winter day, skiers carving their traces into fresh powder snow, and frost on the ground … Such was the inspiration behind the textural details of Powder Snow Cowl.

Bold cables and a pentagonal shape with alternating textured and smooth sections make this cowl a fun and interesting knit, ideally suited to show off a variegated yarn. The cowl is worked in the round from the wider bottom edge towards the narrower top edge, with a patterning that quickly becomes intuitive once the five sections of the round are established.

Skills required: Knitting and purling in the round, casting on and binding off, working yarn overs, decreasing stitches, and cabling with a cable needle. Charts as well as full written instructions are included.
