As an avid skier, my absolute favorite thing is getting out on the slopes early enough in the morning to make fresh tracks on new snow. The slipped-stitch patterning in this cowl brings me right back to the moments I love: standing at the top of a bowl full of powder, pointing my skis down the hill, and jumping in.

Whether your favorite winter activity is an active sport or cozying up to a warm fire on a cold night, I hope you have fun jumping right in to the compelling yet simple colorwork pattern of the Powderbowl cowl.
