Your footsteps make almost no sound. The snow-filled ravine is still, but under the white blanket, a quiet trickle is moving. A whisper of hope, of spring approaching. But for now, a cold wind blows across the coulee, and you snuggle a little further into your cowl. On you trudge, the trickle fading in the distance.

Coulee Cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up in a cable and lace pattern. Choose from three different sizes - Small, for a snug fit; Medium, for a looser fit; and Tall, for a gathered, snug fit. Coulee Cowl is suitable for worsted or aran weight yarns that block well, in solid or semi-solid colours.
