The mitts remind me of my summers spent in northern Europe where it’s never quite warm enough to dress like you’re in Florida. A cowl and pair of fingerless gloves are a must to have in your purse for the times you get caught in a cool breeze or an afternoon rain shower. If you’re in the United States, you may find that they come in handy when you find yourself in a chilly air conditioned store or restaurant.

!When you need a quick gift or you find yourself caught out of town with the weather getting colder, the cowl is the perfect one-evening project. The pattern is so easy, you will memorize it after one repeat. And a gorgeous thick-and-thin multi colored yarn gives this cowl the flexibility to match everything in your wardrobe.
