Frozen Pond Cowl
The Frozen Pond Cowl is all about playing with colors and fun techniques. The top and bottom bands are worked back and forth in two-color brioche stitch—a trendy favorite—and the body is worked in the round in traditional but simple stranded colorwork to entice novices and experts alike.
