Off-Kilter Cowl

In Cowls, Fingering weight yarn, Patterns, Shop sample available by Shannon

As I was working my third Off-Kilter Shawlette for the Blue Moon Mystery-along, I found myself dreaming of a cowl with the same characteristics. The Pond Scum and Grawk seemed a perfect match, and the pattern turned out just as I had envisioned. If you’re a bit nervous about working short rows in the round, don’t be. It’s really not that bad 🙂
