The cactus cowl is the perfect addition to any plant-lovers outfit. The cowl is worked in a tube using stranded colorwork. A twist is then made to add extra character (you can opt to skip the twist). The pattern comes with a complete colorwork chart to complete the cowl. This chart can also be used to make other projects using the cactus design (pillows, blankets, scarves, etc.)
