DESCRIPTION

The Betty Cowl is inspired by 80s ski attire, and was created as a way to have fun with mini skeins. It features pops of bright colors mixed with a traditional nordic design. This cowl is knit in the round as a seamless tube that starts with a provisional cast on. A fun twist is added before the ends are grafted together. The colorwork is charted.
